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

pNP2916 [Cloning backbone, …

Depositor: Patrick Hsu

Purpose: Cloning backbone for cloning bridge RNA

Viral Prep

pAAV-CAG-2xNLS-tdTomato-WPR…

Depositor: Guoping Feng

Purpose: Ready-to-use AAV PHP.eB particles produced from pAAV-CAG-2xNLS-tdTomato-WPRE-hGHpolyA (#192552). CAG-driven expression of nuclear localized tdTomato. 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-Integrin alpha M [IPI-…

Depositor: Institute for Protein Innovation (IPI)

Purpose: Anti-Integrin αM (Human) chimeric recombinant antibody with fused mouse variable and rabbit constant domains; binds αM subunit; blocks ligand binding/function.
