Shipping

Viral particles are shipped frozen on dry ice. Plasmid DNA (≥ 200ng) will also be included in the shipment.

Handling Advice

The lentivirus is generally referred to as BSL-2. AAV is usually considered BSL-1, but may require BSL-2 handling depending on the insert.

Storage

Store at -80°C. Thaw just before use and keep on ice.

Quality Control

Creative Biolabs ensures high-quality viral vectors by optimizing and standardizing production plans and implementing strict quality control (QC). The specific QC analysis performed for each virus batch is different.

Titer: The precise titer of the sample will be reported on the test tube. The potency you see on this page is the guaranteed minimum potency.

Q&As

Could you provide a recommended injection protocol for using this vector in mice?

For mice, we recommend injecting the AAV-mDLX-CRE-tdTomato directly into the target brain region using a stereotaxic apparatus. The optimal viral titer is typically around 10¹² to 10¹³ GC/ml. Ensure the injection volume does not exceed 1-2 µL per site to minimize tissue damage. After injection, allow 2-4 weeks for expression before conducting further analysis.

Does the AAV-mDLX-CRE-tdTomato vector cause any cytotoxicity in neurons?

The AAV-mDLX-CRE-tdTomato is generally considered safe and exhibits minimal cytotoxicity. AAV vectors are widely used in neuroscience due to their low immunogenicity and ability to transduce neurons without significant adverse effects. However, as with any viral vector, it is essential to optimize viral load and injection parameters to minimize potential cytotoxicity.

What benefits does the tdTomato marker provide in neural tracing experiments?

The tdTomato fluorescent protein marker is a robust and stable reporter that emits bright red fluorescence, making it highly visible under a fluorescence microscope. This allows for detailed visualization of neuronal structures and processes, facilitating the tracing of neural pathways. Its strong signal enables precise anatomical mapping, critical for understanding complex neural networks.
