Backbone

  • Vector backbone
    pAAV-EF1α1.1-FLEX
  • Backbone manufacturer
    original from Stratagene
  • Backbone size w/o insert (bp) 5378
  • Total vector size (bp) 7163
  • Vector type
    Mammalian Expression, AAV

Growth in Bacteria

  • Bacterial Resistance(s)
    Ampicillin, 100 μg/mL
  • Growth Temperature
    30°C
  • Growth Strain(s)
    NEB Stable
  • Growth instructions
    Can use DH5alpha at 37°C or Stbl3 at 30°C. Carbenicillin is preferred over ampicillin. In DH5alpha this plasmid may act more like a high copy plasmid, although in Stbl3 it may act more like a low copy plasmid.
  • Copy number
    Low Copy

Depositor Comments

The plasmid is fully sequenced in the coding sequence regions (opsin-fluorophore and important flanking regions). Multiple digestions were done to verify the vector structure. The construct and the virus were both tested in vitro.
