AAV-DJ

Supplied As

Two vials (50 µl x 2) of AAV at a titer ≥1 x 10¹² vector genomes/ml. The titer is determined by qPCR and will vary with each lot; the exact value will be provided with each shipment.

Purification

The purity of the AAV particles was confirmed to be greater than 90% by staining with One-Step Lumitein™ UV Protein Gel Stain (Biotium #21005-1L). The purity varies with each lot; the exact value will be provided with each shipment

Formulation

AAV was produced in HEK293-AAV cells and is supplied in PBS-MK (PBS Magnesium-Potassium) buffer containing 0.01% Pluronic F68. Virus particles can be packaged in custom formulations by special request, for an additional fee.

Background

Adeno-Associated Virus-DJ (AAV-DJ) is a synthetic serotype made from eight different wild-type AAV serotypes (AAV2, 4, 5, 8, 9, avian, bovine, and goat AAV) using DNA shuffling. These modifications give the AAV-DJ serotype improved transduction efficiency in vitro and in vivo compared to wild-type serotypes. Consequently, AAV-DJ can infect a broad range of cell types. mCherry is a monomeric red fluorescent protein derived from DsRed found in the sea anemones Discosoma. It belongs to the mFruit family of monomeric red fluorescent proteins, which are improved versions of mRFP1 (monomeric red fluorescent protein 1) in terms of brightness and photostability. mCherry matures rapidly, making it possible to see results very soon after transduction. The use of fluorescent proteins allows for direct visualization of transduced cells under a fluorescent microscope or analysis by flow cytometry.

Storage/Stability

AAV is shipped with dry ice. For long-term storage, it is recommended to store AAV at -80°C for up to 12 months from date of receipt. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Titers can drop significantly with each freeze-thaw cycle.

Applications

Positive control for transduction.
Optimization of transduction assays and tracking of transgene expression over time.

Shipping Temperature

-80°C

Notes

The AAV-DJ viruses are covered under several patents, including U.S. Patent Nos. 7,588,772, 8,067,014, 8,574,583, and 8,906,387, as well as corresponding foreign patents applications and patent rights. AAV-DJ is used under a license agreement.

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.
