AAV with CMV promoter driven VChR1-mCitrine
This AAV expresses VChR1-mCitrine driven by an ubiquitous CMV promoter.
This roughly 0.6 Kb promoter is the commonly used human cytomegalovirus (CMV) immediate-early promoter/enhancer (CMV/IE).
Volvox channelrhodopsin-1 (VChR1) is from the multicellular green alga Volvox carteri. VChR1 has a similar functionality as hChR2 but with a different excitation spectrum towards green light, and shows action potential firing with 589 nm light.

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.
