AAV with CMV7 promoter driven roGFP1
This AAV expresses roGFP1 driven by an ubiquitous CMV7 promoter.
The CMV7 promoter is about 0.35 kb in length and is a shortened version of the commonly used CMV promoter. CMV7 has a truncated version of the CMV enhancer. When tested in several cell lines, this promoter provides an expression level that is about 3-5 fold lower than that of the original 0.6Kb CMV promoter.
roGFP1 is a reduction-oxidation sensitive green fluorescent protein used as a biosensor. Two cysteines were introduced into the beta-barrel structure of GFP; the oxidation state, reduced dithiol or the oxidized disulfide, of the engineered thiols determines the fluorescent properties of the sensor. roGFPs (roGFP1 and roGFP2), have two fluorescent excitation maxima at about 400 and 490 nm, respectively and display rapid and reversible ratiometric changes in fluorescence in response to changes in redox potential in vitro and in vivo.
Ready-to-use AAV expressing roGFP1 driven by an ubiquitous CMV7 promoter. Available in AAV1, AAV2, AAV5, AAV6, AAV8, AAV9, AAV-DJ and other serotypes.
