This AAV expresses RFP driven by a retina hRPE(1.5) promoter.

The RPE65 gene encodes a protein of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) with a key role in the cycling of retinoids. This 1.5Kb promoter gives RPE-specific expression, but the expression level is not as high as that of the shorter, 0.8Kb, promoter. This is probably due to a negative regulatory element(s) present in the 1.5Kb promoter.

RFP has an Excitation/Emission spectrum of 500nm/580nm. Other fluorescent proteins with similar spectrums include Kusabira Orange , mOrange, mOrange2, dTomato, tdTomato, DsRed, DsRed2, TurboRFP, and TagRFP.

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.
