Scientists Love 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

pAAV-Ef1a-MCP-huADARE488QT4…

Depositor: Fei Chen

Purpose: Fusion of MS2 coat protein to Human ADAR2 E488QT490A, under Ef1a promoter, with WPRE. AKA 116v5

Viral Prep

pGP-AAV-syn-jGCaMP8m-WPRE (…

Depositor: GENIE Project

Purpose: Ready-to-use AAV5 particles produced from pGP-AAV-syn-jGCaMP8m-WPRE (#162375). Syn-driven expression of calcium sensor GCaMP8m (faster, more sensitive). These AAV preparations are suitable purity for injection into animals.

Antibody

Anti-Integrin alpha M [IPI-…

Depositor: Institute for Protein Innovation (IPI)

Purpose: Anti-Integrin αM (Human) chimeric recombinant antibody with fused mouse variable and rabbit constant domains; binds αM subunit; blocks ligand binding/function.
