This AAV expresses mCitrine driven by a muscle tMCK promoter.

tMCK is constructed by ligating a triple tandem copies of mouse MCK enhancer ( about200 bps each) to the ~100bp mouse MCK basal promoter.). This promoter shows extremely sensitive tissue-specificity: (1) In differentiated C2C12 myotubes, the tMCK promoter is 30-50 fold stronger than the Enh358MCK promoter and 10-20 fold stronger than the CMV promoter; (2) In muscle tissue, tMCK promoter is 15-20 fold stronger than the Enh358MCK promoter, and 3-5 fold stronger than the CMV promoter; (3) Strong tissue-specificity: in liver tissue, the expression level from tMCK promoter is only about 0.3-0.5% of that of the CMV promoter.

mCitrine, like Venus, is derived from YFP, with increased brightness and stability. mCitrine has an Excitation/Emission spectrum of 516nm/529nm which is almost identical to that of EYFP, Venus and Topaz.

About Storage Conditions

All our viral products should be kept at -80°C. At this temperature, the virus will remain stable for 6-12 months (and in some cases, up to 2 years). Once thawed, the product can be stored at 4°C for 2-3 weeks without significant loss of biological activity. We recommend aliquoting your vectors into low protein binding tubes upon receipt. This helps avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, as well as prevent loss of virus. To maintain accurate titer, aliquot in at least 20ul per tube.
