...arg1) and acoustic gene 2 (arg2). The key difference between arg1 and arg2 vesicles is the amount of soundwave... soundwave pressure required to collapse them: arg2 vesicles collapse at a lower pressure than arg1 vesicles...ultrasound, which allows for differentiation of arg1 and arg2 ultrasound signals. This also means that multiplexing...pulses with high enough amplitudes to first collapse arg2 and then arg1 vesicles. By comparing ultrasound ...ultrasound images pre-collapse and post-collapse of arg2 and then arg1, each ARG’s distinct ultrasound fingerprint...using acoustic reporters for your research? arg1 and arg2 plasmids are available from Addgene!
