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

pD649-HAsp-BSG-COMP5AP-AviT…

Depositor: Chris Garcia

Purpose: Mammalian expression of cell-surface protein extracellular domain fused to COMP5AP-AviTag-9xHis. Protein is secreted from cells.

Viral Prep

CaMKII-somBiPOLES-mCerulean…

Depositor: Simon Wiegert

Purpose: Ready-to-use AAV5 particles produced from CaMKII-somBiPOLES-mCerulean (#154948). CamKII-driven expression of soma-targeted BiPOLES for optogenetic inhibition (blue light) and activation (red light). These AAV preparations are suitable purity for injection into animals.

Antibody

Anti-Integrin alpha V beta …

Depositor: Institute for Protein Innovation (IPI)

Purpose: Anti-Integrin αVβ6 (Human) chimeric recombinant antibody with fused human variable and rabbit constant domains; binds the particular alpha/beta chain pair, blocks ligand binding/function (RGD-mimetic)
