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 varies 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 allow the AAV-DJ serotype to exhibit improved transduction efficiency in vitro and in vivo and infect a broader range of cell types compared to the wild-type serotypes.   

Synapsin I is a neuron-specific phosphoprotein that coats the cytoplasmic surface of small synaptic vesicles and is involved in axonogenesis and synaptogenesis. Mutations in this protein can result in X-linked neuronal degenerations (example: Rett Syndrome). The proximal region of the synapsin I promoter is sufficient to direct neuron-specific gene expression. The synapsin I promoter has been used to achieve neuron-specific long-term transgene expression in vivo.
