Information for AAV PHP.eB (Catalog # 104061-PHPeB)

Purpose

Ready-to-use AAV PHP.eB particles produced from CAG-NLS-GFP (#104061). In addition to the viral particles, you will also receive purified CAG-NLS-GFP plasmid DNA.

CAG-driven NLS-GFP expression. 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.

Viral Quality Control

Quality Control:

• Addgene ensures high quality viral vectors by optimizing and standardizing production protocols and performing rigorous quality control (QC) (see a list of our QC assays). The specific QC assays performed varies for each viral lot. To learn which specific QC assays were performed on your lot, please contact us.
• Titer: the exact titer of your sample will be reported on the tube. The titer you see listed on this page is the guaranteed minimum titer. See how titers are measured.
