Product Overview

Description

Pseudorabies virus (PRV) has a double-stranded DNA genome with a genome of approximately 150 kb, which encodes capsid, outer skin, and envelope proteins. The reverse-transcribed anti-synaptic PRV is modified from the vaccine strain Bartha and can be used to analyze the connection structure of the brain center and peripheral neurons. After the virus infects nerve cells, it can replicate in the cell and express the target gene. The offspring virus is transported to the synapse, and then retrogrades the counter-synaptic label of the upstream neuron for further replication and transmission across the synapse.

After years of research, Creative Biolabs has established a stable production platform and can provide pseudorabies virus (PRV) services to promote PRV-based neuron tracking research.

Application field
●Multi-synaptic tracking from the periphery to the center of the brain or from higher to lower brain regions.
●Track the connection between peripheral organs and the central nervous system
●Track the neural network in the disease or injury model.
● Changes in neural networks during neural development.

Q&As

Can PRV-CMV-RFP be used in a variety of animal models?

PRV-CMV-RFP is versatile and can be used in various animal models, including rodents and non-human primates. The choice of model depends on the research question and the specific neural circuits being studied. Always verify that the animal model is compatible with the virus and that the experimental conditions align with the recommendations.

What are the expected results when using PRV-CMV-RFP for neural tracing?

When PRV-CMV-RFP is successfully used, you should observe red fluorescence in neurons that were infected by the virus. This fluorescence will highlight the pathways and connections between neurons, allowing for detailed mapping of neural circuits. The extent and pattern of fluorescence provide insights into the connectivity and organization of the neural networks being studied.

What troubleshooting steps should be taken if PRV-CMV-RFP does not produce expected results?

If the expected results are not observed, first check the virus preparation and administration procedures to ensure proper handling and delivery. Verify that the imaging equipment is properly calibrated for RFP detection. Additionally, review the experimental conditions and animal model compatibility. If problems persist, consult for technical support and consider troubleshooting steps provided in the product manual.
