Depositor Comments

The addition of the P2A-nls-dTomato allows for easy identification of GCaMP6 expressing cells exhibiting nuclear red fluorescence that does not significantly overlap with the cytosolic GCaMP signal. The GCaMP and fluorophore are physically uncoupled.

Permissions were obtained from Douglas Kim and the Clontech licensing office for depositing this new plasmid.

Information for AAV1 (Catalog # 51085-AAV1) ( Back to top )

Purpose

Ready-to-use AAV1 particles produced from AAV-hSyn1-GCaMP6f-P2A-nls-dTomato (#51085). In addition to the viral particles, you will also receive purified AAV-hSyn1-GCaMP6f-P2A-nls-dTomato plasmid DNA.

GCaMP6f calcium sensor and bicistronic, physically separate nuclear localized dTomato expression under the Synapsin promoter. These AAV preparations are suitable purity for injection into animals.

Delivery

  • Volume 100 µL
  • Titer ≥ 7×10¹² vg/mL
  • Pricing $375 USD for preparation of 100 µL virus + $30 USD for plasmid.
  • Storage Store at -80℃. Thaw just before use and keep on ice.
  • Shipment Viral particles are shipped frozen on dry ice. Plasmid DNA (≥ 200ng) will also be included in the shipment.

Viral Production & Use

  • Packaging Plasmids encode adenoviral helper sequences and AAV rep gene, AAV1 cap gene
  • Buffer PBS + 0.001% Pluronic F-68 + 200 mM NaCl
  • Serotype AAV1
  • Purification Iodixanol gradient ultracentrifugation
  • Reporter Gene nuclear dTomato (physically separate, not a fusion protein)

Biosafety

Requestor is responsible for compliance with their institution's biosafety regulations. Lentivirus is generally considered BSL-2. AAV is generally considered BSL-1, but may require BSL-2 handling depending on the insert. Biosafety Guide

Viral Quality Control

Quality Control:
  • Addgene ensures high quality viral vectors by optimizing and standardizing production protocols and performing rigorous quality control (QC) (see a list of our QC assays). The specific QC assays performed varies for each viral lot. To learn which specific QC assays were performed on your lot, please contact us.
  • Titer: the exact titer of your sample will be reported on the tube. The titer you see listed on this page is the guaranteed minimum titer. See how titers are measured.

Visit our viral production page for more information.

Information for AAV Retrograde (Catalog # 51085-AAVrg) ( Back to top )

Purpose

Ready-to-use AAV Retrograde particles produced from AAV-hSyn1-GCaMP6f-P2A-nls-dTomato (#51085). In addition to the viral particles, you will also receive purified AAV-hSyn1-GCaMP6f-P2A-nls-dTomato plasmid DNA.

GCaMP6f calcium sensor and bicistronic, physically separate nuclear localized dTomato expression under a human synapsin1 promoter. These AAV were produced with a retrograde serotype, which permits retrograde access to projection neurons. These AAV preparations are suitable purity for injection into animals.

Delivery

  • Volume 100 µL
  • Titer ≥ 7×10¹² vg/mL
  • Pricing $375 USD for preparation of 100 µL virus + $30 USD for plasmid.
  • Storage Store at -80℃. Thaw just before use and keep on ice.
  • Shipment Viral particles are shipped frozen on dry ice. Plasmid DNA (≥ 200ng) will also be included in the shipment.

Viral Production & Use

  • Packaging Plasmids encode adenoviral helper sequences and AAV rep gene, AAV retrograde cap gene from rAAV2-retro helper (plasmid #81070)
  • Buffer PBS + 0.001% Pluronic F-68
  • Serotype AAV retrograde (AAVrg)
  • Purification Iodixanol gradient ultracentrifugation
  • Reporter Gene nuclear dTomato (physically separate, not a fusion protein)

Addgene Comments

Retrograde functionality is dependent on high viral titers. Addgene recommends not diluting your AAV preps prior to use.
