AAV5 ZsGreen

DESCRIPTION

Adeno-Associated Virus Serotype 5 (AAV5) differs from other parvovirus serotypes according to serological and DNA hybridization data, and AAV5 also uses different inverted terminal repeats (ITRs) compared to other AAV serotypes. AAV5 is the most efficient vector for transducing sensory neurons and is good at mediating gene transfer to human and murine airway epithelia. In addition, AAV5 vectors show a higher tropism for mouse and human dendritic cells than AAV1, AAV2, AAV7, or AAV8. These AAV5 particles constitutively express ZsGreen under a CMV promoter. ZsGreen is a human codon-optimized variant of the green fluorescent protein isolated from reef coral (Zoanthus sp). It has been engineered for higher expression in mammalian cells and is up to four times brighter than enhanced GFP (eGFP). ZsGreen expression and transduction efficiency can easily be verified and optimized by fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry. ZsGreen has an excitation wavelength of 493 nm and an emission wavelength of 505 nm.

DETAILS

Notes: Biosafety: Recombinant AAV is inherently replication-deficient and not known to cause any human diseases. Additionally, following transduction, AAV vectors exist episomally and do not integrate into or disrupt the host cell's genome. AAV requires the use of a Biosafety Level 1 facility. BPS Bioscience recommends following all local, federal, state, and institutional regulations and using all appropriate safety precautions.
