rAAV-CAG-CheRiff-EGFP-WPRE-bGHpA

Promoter Details

CAG, strong promoter, an artificially constructed combined promoter, composed of cytomegalovirus early enhancer and chicken β-actin promoter, 1731bp.

Functional Gene Details

CheRiff: Excitation light wavelength 460nm.

Fluorescent Tag

EGFP

Fluorescent Protein Details

EGFP: Green fluorescent protein, excitation wavelength 488nm, emission wavelength 507nm.

Application

Expressing light-sensitive ion channel proteins, such as ChR2, ChrimsonR, etc., in neurons through rAAV viral vectors can specifically excite neurons and explore the effects of light stimulation on neurons, neural circuits and animal behavior.

Notes

1. Short-term storage at 4°C; long-term storage at -80°C

2. It can be stored at -80°C for more than 6 months. Each time it is frozen and thawed, the titer will be reduced by 10%, and repeated freezing and thawing should be avoided; if the virus is stored for more than 6 months, it is recommended to re-measure the virus titer before use

3. According to the experimental needs, the virus can be appropriately diluted and divided into the volume required for each experiment.
