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.
