Scientists
Addgene
Addgene has been an exceptionally useful resource for us, both because they can be trusted to supply our plasmids to other labs efficiently, and because we ourselves are constantly ordering reagents of interest that other labs have deposited. Keep up the good work!

Our optogenetic tools are sweeping throughout neuroscience, helping scientists figure out how the brain works. Without Addgene helping provide these to the world, neuroscience would be moving at a much slower pace.

Tools of the Day
Plasmid
Depositor: James Trimmer
Purpose: Mammalian Expression Plasmid of anti-TRESK K+ channel (Mouse). Derived from hybridoma N467/1.
Viral Prep
Antibody
Depositor: Institute for Protein Innovation (IPI)
Purpose: Anti-Glypican 1 (Human) chimeric recombinant antibody with fused human variable and rabbit constant domains; recognizes human and mouse GPC1. Does not cross-react with other GPCs.
