AAV with CAG2 promoter driven mCitrine
This AAV expresses mCitrine driven by an ubiquitous CAG2 promoter.
The CAG2 promoter is derived from the commonly used 1.8kb CAG/CBA (also called CAGGS) promoter. To increase the cloning capacity of size-limiting vectors using the CAG promoter, such as AAV or lentiviral vectors, CAG2 was developed by deleting a portion of about 0.6Kb of the chicken beta-actin intron from the original CAG 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.
Ready-to-use AAV expressing mCitrine driven by an ubiquitous CAG2 promoter. Available in AAV1, AAV2, AAV5, AAV6, AAV8, AAV9, AAV-DJ and other serotypes.
