For cloning of Cre-dependent hDlx AAV virus, we amplified the hM3D-mCherry and mCherry coding sequences from the plasmid pAAV-hSyn-DIO-hM3D(Gq)-mCherry (a gift from Bryan Roth, Addgene # 44361)57 (link) and pAAV-hSyn-DIO-mCherry (also a gift from Bryan Roth, Addgene # 50459) and cloned them into a pAAV-hDlx-Flex-GFP vector backbone (a gift from Gordon Fishell, Addgene # 83895)58 (link) at AccI and NheI cloning sites. The coding sequence of adra1A was synthesized from Bio Basic Inc. and cloned into a pAAV-hDlx-Flex backbone. The virus was further packaged by Vigene Biosciences Company in AAVdj serotype. pAAV-EF1a-DIO-ChR2-mCherry plasmid (a gift from Karl Deisseroth, addgene # 20297) was purchased from addgene and packaged into AAVs from Vigene Biosciences Company in serotype9. All hDlx AAV viruses were diluted to the range of 1011 to 1012 viral genome per ml with virus dilution buffer containing 350 mM NaCl and 5% D-Sorbitol in PBS.

Viral Expression of hM4D(Gi) in Cerebellar Lobules

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Adeno-associated viruses (AAV) pAAV-hSyn-DIO-hM4D(Gi)-mCherry and pAAV-hSyn-DIO-mCherry were purchased from Addgene (Watertown, USA). nNos-Cre homozygous mice (~P24–P90) were anesthetized with isoflurane and placed in a stereotaxic frame (Neurostar). For viral injections, a glass electrode filled with AAV virus was placed into the target area according to the corresponding coordinates: Lobules V/VI inclusive (lambda 15–20 mm posterior, 0 mm M/L, 2 mm ventral) and Lobules V/VI exclusive (Lambda ± ~35 mm posterior, ±0 mm M/L, 2 mm ventral). The scalp incision was stapled, and animals were allowed at least 2 weeks to recover and express the virus before FC training (tone + shock in context A) and memory retention tests (tone alone in context B, conducted 24 h after FC). Freezing responses to tones were quantified as described above. Correct location of the virus injection was confirmed postmortem by mCherry fluorescence.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
