Product Overview

Description

Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) is a non-segmented negative-strand RNA virus in the virus genus of the Rhabdoviridae family. The genome of VSV is approximately 11 kb-12 kb nucleotides, which encode nucleoprotein (N), phosphoprotein (P), matrix protein (M), glycoprotein (G) and large polymerase protein (L). Improved VSV has been widely used as an anterograde tracer.
Glycoprotein (G) is an important component of VSV anterograde synapse. When G (VSV-ΔG) is removed, it will lose the ability to cross synapses, but it can still express foreign genes in high abundance. Therefore, VSV-ΔG can be used to quickly obtain a complete image of neuron projection distribution, and can also be used for anterograde single synapse tracking.

Creative Biolabs has established a recombinant VSV platform based on our experienced employees and advanced molecular biology technology, and can provide VSV services to promote VSV-based neuron tracking research.

Applications
●Multi-synaptic tracking from the periphery to the center of the brain or from lower to higher brain regions.
●Track the neural network in the disease or injury model.
● Changes in neural networks during neural development.

Q&As

How stable is the eGFP signal in VSV-eGFP for long-term neural tracing studies?

The eGFP signal in our VSV-eGFP is highly stable, maintaining robust fluorescence over extended periods. Depending on the application and experimental conditions, you can expect the signal to remain clear and consistent for several weeks. This stability ensures precise neural tracing, even in long-term studies, allowing for accurate tracking of neuronal pathways without significant signal degradation.

Is VSV-eGFP suitable for use in different model organisms, such as mice and rats?

Yes, VSV-eGFP is versatile and has been successfully used in various model organisms, including mice and rats. The product is optimized for neural tracing across species, providing consistent and high-quality fluorescent labeling. It is particularly effective in rodents for studies involving circuit mapping, allowing you to trace complex neural pathways with clarity in different models.

What kind of imaging system is best suited for visualizing the eGFP fluorescence in VSV-eGFP?

For optimal visualization of the eGFP fluorescence in VSV-eGFP, we recommend using a fluorescence microscope equipped with a filter set for GFP detection (excitation 488 nm, emission 509 nm). Confocal microscopy is ideal for high-resolution imaging, allowing for detailed examination of neural structures and pathways. Standard epifluorescence microscopes can also deliver good results, depending on your imaging needs.
