Penn aav hsyn cre wpre hgh

Manufactured by Addgene

PENN-AAV-hSyn-Cre-WPRE-hGH is an adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector containing the Cre recombinase gene under the control of the human synapsin (hSyn) promoter, along with the Woodchuck Hepatitis Virus Posttranscriptional Regulatory Element (WPRE) and the human growth hormone (hGH) polyadenylation signal. This vector is designed for Cre-mediated recombination in neuronal cells.

Male and female wild‐type C57BL/6Crl mice aged between 21 and 40 days were anesthetized with isoflurane, mounted in a stereotaxic frame, and a small craniotomy made above the target region. To achieve sparse labelling, a mixture of pENN‐AAV‐hSyn‐Cre‐WPRE‐hGH (Addgene # 105553‐AAV1) (titer ≥ 2 × 109 vg mL−1) and pAAV‐hsyn‐flex‐Voltron‐ST (Addgene # 119036‐AAV1) (titer ≥ 1 × 10¹2 vg mL−1) injected into the primary visual cortex (stereotaxic coordinates AP −3.8, ML 3.0, DV −0.3, and −0.6) and CA1 (AP −3.8, ML 3.0, DV −1.3). Injection coordinates were calculated relative to bregma and 200 nL of the virus mixture was injected at each coordinate. JF525‐HTL (100 nMol, Lavis Lab, Janelia Research Campus, HHMI) was mixed with 20 µL of DMSO (Sigma, D2650‐5 × 5 ML), 20 µL of Pluronic F‐127 (20% Solution in DMSO) (ThermoFischer Scientific P3000MP) and 80 µL of 1x PBS and administered intravenously into the lateral tail vein of mice 24–72 h prior to experimentation.

Producing Adeno-Associated Viral Vectors

The following plasmids were purchased from Addgene: AAV-hSyn-eGFP (#114213), AAV-hSyn-hM3D(Gq)-mCherry (#50474), AAV-hSyn-DIO-hM3D(Gq)-mCherry (#44361), and pENN-AAV-hSyn-CRE-WPRE.hGH (#105553). AAV8-hSyn-DIO-hM3D(Gq)-eGFP-WPREs was purchased from BrainVTA. To produce viral particles, HEK293T cells were grown in DMEM (low glucose, GlutaMAX) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum. Cells were transfected by using polyethylenimine solution with a 1:1:1 molar ratio of helper, capsid, and desired construct plasmids in RPMI medium without glutamine and serum. 5 h after transfection, the media was changed back to serum-supplemented DMEM and the cells were kept for 3 d before harvesting. The supernatant was harvested 2 and 3 d after transfection and kept at 4°C. The supernatant was centrifuged (4,200 rpm for 10 min) to collect cell debris and then filtered (0.45 micron). For concentration, 15-min centrifugation rounds (4,200 rpm, 4°C) through 100 kD AMICON filters were performed. Titers were determined using qPCR. Viral aliquots were stored at −80°C until used.

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.
