Viral Vectors

With years of experience, scientists at Creative Biolabs have developed a series of viral vectors for neuroscience research. We are therefore confident in offering the best products and services for our clients all over the world.

Viral Vectors for Neural Circuit Mapping

To gain a clearer understanding of how brain circuits work, it is important to examine and manipulate the function of specific brain nuclei and neuron types. Recombinant viral technology facilitates targeted transgene expression in specific neuronal populations. In the past decades, the viral vectors allow the mapping, observation, and manipulation of neuronal circuits in experimental models. For example, the CVS-N2c strain and SADB19-base vectors have been used for the monosynaptic tracing of neuronal connections. What's more, the combination of cell type-specific viral vectors with trans-neuronal vectors can be used to dissect input-output circuits.

Viral Vectors for Neural Cell Manipulation

Recombinant viruses are the workhorse of modern neuroscience. They are used routinely to study the molecular and cellular functions of a gene within an identified cell type in the brain, and enable the application of optogenetics, chemogenetics, calcium imaging, and related approaches. Our neural tracing vectors includes adeno-associated virus (AAV), lentivirus (LV), retrovirus and herpes simplex virus (HSV), which have been developed to be powerful tools in both academic and clinical applications.

Our outsourcing service processes

Convenient & Fast

We provide free service on mega plasmids extraction for viral packing service. Our customers just need to drop mini-extracted plasmids on filter paper or PCR tube winded with sealing film and send it to us.

Starting from mini-extracted plasmids, it will take 3 weeks to finish AAV preparation.

Starting from designing and construction, it will take 5~7 weeks to finish AAV preparation.

Creative Biolabs has long-term devoted to the development and application of various viral vectors for neuroscience research. Based on our advanced platforms and extensive experience, we have finished a lot of challenging work.
