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.

Information for AAV MaCPNS1 (Catalog # 37825-MaCPNS1)

Purpose

Ready-to-use AAV MaCPNS1 particles produced from pAAV-CAG-GFP (#37825). In addition to the viral particles, you will also receive purified pAAV-CAG-GFP plasmid DNA.

CAG-driven GFP expression. These AAV were produced with the MaCPNS1 serotype, which permits efficient transduction of the PNS in rodents and the CNS and PNS (including ENS) in marmosets and rhesus macaques. These AAV preparations are suitable purity for injection into animals.
