Adeno-Associated Virus serotype 6 (AAV6) appears to be related to AAV1 by sequence analysis and shows the highest transduction efficiency in pancreatic beta-cells compared to other AAV serotypes.
These AAV6 particles constitutively express the firefly (Photinus pyralis) luciferase and enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein (eGFP) genes connected via a T2A linker, under the control of a CMV promoter. The T2A self-cleaving peptide (derived from Thosea asigna virus 2A) leads to the efficient cleavage of the transcript, and expression of luciferase and eGFP as two separate proteins.

Purified AAV6 Luciferase-eGFP particles.
Transduction of HEK293 cells using AAV6 Luciferase-eGFP particles.
Luciferase activity of HEK293 cells transduced by AAV6 Luciferase-eGFP- particles.
Two vials (50 µl x 2) of AAV at a titer ≥1 x 1011 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 will vary with each lot; the exact value will be provided with each shipment.
Formulation
AAV6 was produced in HEK293-AAV cells and is supplied in PBS-MK (PBS Magnesium-Potassium) buffer containing 0.01% Pluronic F68.
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
Use as a positive control for transduction
Optimize transduction assays and track protein expression over time
Shipping Temperature
-80°C
Notes
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.
