This AAV expresses ECFP driven by a retina hRPE(1.5) promoter.

The RPE65 gene encodes a protein of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) with a key role in the cycling of retinoids. This 1.5Kb promoter gives RPE-specific expression, but the expression level is not as high as that of the shorter, 0.8Kb, promoter. This is probably due to a negative regulatory element(s) present in the 1.5Kb promoter.

Enhanced Cyan fluorescence protein(ECFP) is a cyan variant from the Aequorea GFP, with a Excitation/Emission spectrum around 434nm/477nm. Other versions of fluorescent proteins with similar excitation and emission spectrums include mcerulean3, mTurquoise, and SCFP.

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.
