AAV-Syn-FLEX-rc [SomArchon-GFP]
(Plasmid #153533)

• Purpose: AAV-mediated expression of SomArchon-GFP under the Syn promoter, in floxed/reversed (Cre-dependent) manner.
• Depositing Lab: Edward Boyden
• Publication: Piatkevich et al Nature. 2019 Oct;574(7778):413-417. doi: 10.1038/s41586-019-1641-1. Epub 2019 Oct 9.

Backbone

• Vector backbone: pAAV-Syn-FLEX
• Backbone size w/o insert (bp): 4670
• Total vector size (bp): 6494
• 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.
