To generate pAAV-U6-mCherry, the mCherry sequence was PCR amplified from pAAV-Ef1a-DIO-DSE-mCherry-PSE-shRNA. AvrII-WPRE-pA (purchased from Addgene; Cat #129669), the EGFP sequence was eliminated from pAAV-U6-EGFP by digestion with MluI and BsrGI, and the mCherry sequence was subcloned into the vector’s MluI/BsrGI enzyme site. The following plasmids were obtained commercially: rAAV2-retro helper (Addgene; Cat# 81070), pAAV-RAM-d2TTA::TRE-NLS-mKate2-WPREpA (Addgene; Cat# 84474), pAAV-hSynI-FLEX-TVA-P2A-EGFP-2A-oG (Addgene; Cat# 85225), EnvA G-deleted Rabies-mCherry (Addgene; Cat# 32626), and pAAV-EF1α-fDIO-hM4Di-mCherry (Addgene; Cat# 50461). pAAV-EF1α-fDIO-NLS-GFP-∆Cre and pAAV-EF1α-fDIO-NLS-GFP-Cre were constructed by PCR amplification of the NLS-∆Cre-GFP and NLS-Cre-GFP segment from pAAV-hSynI-NLS-∆Cre-GFP and pAAV-hSynI-NLS-Cre-GFP vector, respectively, followed by subcloning into the pAAV-EF1α-fDIO at BsrGI and NheI sites. The following plasmids were previously described: pAAV-U6-EGFP80 (link); pAAV-hSynI-∆Cre-EGFP and pAAV-hSynI-Cre-EGFP42 (link) and pAAV-phSynI-WGA-IRES-mCherry-Flpo-bGHGpA81 (link); and pAAV-DIO-hM3Dq-2A-mCherry82 (link).
