This AAV expresses CreERT2 driven by a liver ALB(1.4) promoter.

The ALB(1.4) is a shorter version of the ALB(1.7) promoter with a total length of 1.4 Kb. In mouse liver cells, the transgene expression from this ALB(1.4) synthetic promoter is about 3 times lower than that of ALB(1.7) promoter but 10-100 fold greater than that of the CMV promoter 10-20 weeks after plasmid injection into mouse liver.

A mutated form of estrogen ligand-binding domain (ERT2) that binds to synthetic antagonists (such as tamoxifen or its derivative 4-hydroxy-tamoxifen) but not to circulating estrogen, was fused to the Cre recombinase (Cre) to create CreERT2 (also known as “inducible Cre”). When tamoxifen binds to CreERT2, it induces a conformational change of CreERT2, leading to its nuclear translocation, followed by Cre/Lox-mediated recombination.

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.
