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

pEW003

Depositor: Robert Fagan

Purpose: Based on pAF259 but with bitluc expression driven by the C. saccharoperbutylacetonicum flgB promoter.

Viral Prep

pAAV_BiPVe3_ChR2_mCherry

Depositor: Gordon Fishell

Purpose: Ready-to-use AAV PHP.eB particles produced from pAAV_BiPVe3_ChR2_mCherry (#213941). Expression of mCherry-tagged channelrhodopsin-2 under the control of the PV+ basket cell-targeting enhancer E3. These AAV were produced with the PHPeB serotype, which permits efficient transduction of the central nervous system. These AAV preparations are suitable purity for injection into animals.

Antibody

Anti-HCN2 [N71/37R]

Depositor: James Trimmer

Purpose: Anti-HCN2 (Rat) recombinant mouse monoclonal antibody
