AAV with aMHC promoter driven EBFP2
This AAV expresses EBFP2 driven by a cardiac aMHC promoter.
αMHC(0.4) promoter is derived from the murine α-MHC gene (alpha-myosin heavy chain) and drives cardiac-specific expression. The length of this promoter is 0.4 Kb. Based on studies in primary cardiomyocytes, this aMHC(0.4) promoter gives an expression level that is comparable to that of a CMV promoter.
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 a cardiac aMHC promoter. Available in AAV1, AAV2, AAV5, AAV6, AAV8, AAV9, AAV-DJ and other serotypes.
