AAV-Syn-Jaws-KGC-tdTomato-ER2
(Plasmid #153535)

• Purpose: AAV-mediated expression of Jaws-KGC-tdTomato-ER2 under the Syn promoter.
• Depositing Lab: Edward Boyden
• Publication: Chuong et al Nat Neurosci. 2014 Aug;17(8):1123-9. doi: 10.1038/nn.3752. Epub 2014 Jul 6.

Backbone

• Vector backbone: pAAV-Syn
• Backbone size w/o insert (bp): 4193
• Total vector size (bp): 6557
• 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.
