AAV with GFAP(2.2) promoter driven EBFP2
This AAV expresses EBFP2 driven by an astrocyte GFAP(2.2) promoter.
The GFAP(2.2) promoter is based on human glial fibrillary acidic protein gene (GFAP), which is the major intermediate filament protein in astrocytes. It has been shown that approximately 2 kb of 5′-flanking DNA of the human GFAP gene is sufficient to direct transgene expression to astrocytes and confer developmental/injury-induced regulation.
EBFP2 is new version of blue fluorescent protein (BFP), with an Excitation/Emission spectrum of 380nm/448nm. EBFP2 is the brightest and most photo-stable of the BFPs; it is useful for situations in which a blue probe is required, especially when two-photon excitation is used.
Ready-to-use AAV expressing EBFP2 driven by an astrocyte GFAP(2.2) promoter. Available in AAV1, AAV2, AAV5, AAV6, AAV8, AAV9, AAV-DJ and other serotypes.
