• Depositing Lab: Edward Boyden
• Publication: Piatkevich et al Nat Chem Biol. 2018 Feb 26. pii: 10.1038/s41589-018-0004-9. doi: 10.1038/s41589-018-0004-9.

Backbone

• Vector backbone: pAAV-EF1a 1.1-FLEX
• Backbone manufacturer: original from Stratagene
• Backbone size w/o insert (bp): 5367
• Total vector size (bp): 6972
• Modifications to backbone: Exchanged the hGHpA with the bGHpA.
• Vector type: Mammalian Expression, AAV

Growth in Bacteria

• Bacterial Resistance(s): Ampicillin, 100 μg/mL
• Growth Temperature: 37°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: High 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.
