GFP, Flag-capsidWT, or Flag-capsidH41R were cloned into AAV vector (Addgene, #37825), and then transfected into HEK293T cells with AAV-PHP.B plasmid (gifted from Dr. Viviana Gradinaru lab) for 3 days to produce AAVs. AAVs-containing supernatants were collected and purified by AAV Purification Mega Kit (Cell Biolabs, #VPK-141). The concentration of purified AAVs was determined by AAV Quantification Kit (Cell Biolabs, #VPK-145) and finally AAVs of 50 μl volume at the concentration of 5×1011 vg/mL was obtained.

DNA plasmids encoding pAAV-human synapsin-1 (hSyn)-hM4D(Gi)-mCherry (Addgene, plasmid 50475), pAAV-Ubi-GFP (Addgene, plasmid 11155), and pAAV-Calcium-CaMKIIα-mCherry (Addgene, plasmid 114469) were obtained from Addgene. Plasmid DNA was amplified purified and collected using a standard plasmid maxiprep kit (Qiagen). The purified plasmids were mixed into CaCl2 solution with the DNA plasmid coding AAV-DJ and cotransfected into HEK293T cells using the calcium phosphate precipitation method. Transfected cells were harvested 72 hours after transfection, and the virus was purified using the AAV Purification Mega Kit (Cell Biolabs). Viral titers were 5 × 1012 particles/mL and stored in aliquots at –80°C until use.

DNA plasmids encoding pAAV-hSyn-DIO-mCherry (Addgene, plasmid #50459), pAAV-hSyn-DIO-hM3D(Gq)-mCherry (Addgene, plasmid #44361), pAAV-hSyn-DIO-hM4D(Gi)-mCherry (Addgene, plasmid #44362) and pAAV-mOXT-hM3D(Gq)-mCherry (Addgene, plasmid #70717) were purchased from Addgene. Plasmid DNA was amplified, purified and collected with the QIAGEN plasmid maxiprep kit following manufacturer’s instructions. The purified plasmids were mixed into CaCl2 solution with the DNA plasmid coding AAV5 and co-transfected into HEK293GP cells using the calcium phosphate co-precipitation method as described previously [12 (link), 24 (link)]. Transfected cells were harvested 72 h after transfection and viruses were purified using the AAV Purification Mega Kit (Cell Biolabs, Inc.). Viral titers were 5 × 1012 particles/ml and stored in aliquots at − 80 °C until use.

DNA plasmids encoding pAAV-CaMKIIα-hM3Dq-internal ribosomal entry site (IRES)-mCitrine (Addgene, plasmid #50466), pAAV-CaMKIIα-hM4Di-mCherry (Addgene, plasmid #50477), pAAV-CaMKIIα-hChR2(H134R)-EYFP (Addgene, plasmid #26969), pAAV-CaMKIIα-EGFP (Addgene, plasmid #50469), and pAAV-Ubi-eGFP (Addgene, plasmid #62518) were obtained from Addgene. pAAV-CaMKIIα-Cre-GFP was constructed from Cre-GFP empty vector (Addgene, plasmid #20781) into pAAV-CaMKIIα-hChR2-EYFP (Addgene, plasmid #26969). Plasmid DNA was amplified, purified, and collected using a standard plasmid maxiprep kit (Qiagen). The purified plasmids were mixed into CaCl2 solution with the DNA plasmid coding AAV-DJ and co-transfected into HEK293T cells using calcium phosphate precipitation methods. Transfected cells were harvested at 72 h after transfection and the virus was purified using the AAV purification mega kit (Cell Biolabs, Inc.). Viral titers were 5 × 1012 particles/ml and stored in aliquots at −80 °C until use.

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.
