This AAV expresses EGFP driven by a retina hRPE(0.8) promoter.

The RPE65 gene encodes a protein of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) with a key role in the cycling of retinoids. It was shown that a RPE promoter of about 0.8 Kb was sufficient to direct high RPE-specific expression in transgenic mice. The 1.5Kb version of the promoter hRPE(1.5), also gives RPE-specific expression, but the expression level is not as high as the 0.8Kb promoter. This is probably due to a negative regulatory element(s) present in the 1.5Kb promoter.

EGFP is derived from the Aequorea GFP with a Excitation/Emission spectrum around 488nm/507nm. It is the most commonly used imaging probe. Other fluorescent proteins with similar emission spectrums are Emerald, and T-Sapphire.

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.
