Product Overview

Creative Biolabs offers a wide range of neural tracing tools for precise labeling of neural circuits. These tools include traditional tracers (nonviral tracers) and recombinant viral vectors (viral tracers).

Nonviral tracers are commonly employed to determine neural connections between different brain areas in experimental animals. These substances, which are versatile, extremely sensitive, and capable of selective anterograde and retrograde labeling, have been used to research neural circuits, such as dyes, dextran, proteins, and probes.

Virus tracers become an effective tool for tracing neural network connections, overcoming the shortcomings of traditional tracers. The most commonly used viral tracing tools for neural circuit mapping are neurotropic viruses, which can infect nerve cells and spread across synapses along neural circuits, making them ideal tools for mapping neural circuits. Herpes simplex virus (HSV), pseudorabies virus (PRV), rabies virus (RV), and vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) are commonly used neurotropic virus tracing tools. Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is a type of single-stranded DNA replication-deficient virus with a simple structure that has been discovered so far. It has the characteristics of high safety, low immunogenicity, wide range of host cells and long expression time in vivo. A growing number of studies on the neural circuit are using AAV as a tool to trace the neural circuit.
