Promega's Plasmid Collection
Addgene is partnering with Promega to distribute a novel collection of plasmids to academic and industry researchers.
The collection includes sensitive luciferase reporter constructs and human ORF-tag fusion plasmids for analyzing protein interactions and signaling pathways. Available in a new 20 µg DNA format to save you time and accelerate your research.

Scientists 
Addgene
Addgene has been an exceptionally useful resource for us, both because they can be trusted to supply our plasmids to other labs efficiently, and because we ourselves are constantly ordering reagents of interest that other labs have deposited. Keep up the good work!

Our optogenetic tools are sweeping throughout neuroscience, helping scientists figure out how the brain works. Without Addgene helping provide these to the world, neuroscience would be moving at a much slower pace.

Tools of the Day
Plasmid
Depositor: Sally Lowell
Purpose: Mammalian expression vector: CAG promoter driving expression of nuclear envelope-tethered mKate2 (NLS-mKate2-EmerinTMD). Confers hygromycin B resistance.
Viral Prep
Depositor: Loren Looger
Purpose: Ready-to-use AAV Retrograde particles produced from AAV-mDlx-jGCaMP8f-WPRE (#176753). mDlx-driven expression of ultrafast calcium sensor GCaMP8f. These AAV were produced with a retrograde serotype, which permits retrograde access to projection neurons. These AAV preparations are suitable purity for injection into animals.
Antibody
Depositor: James Trimmer
Purpose: Anti-Contactin/F3 (Rat) recombinant mouse monoclonal antibody
