AAV-DJ SP-B-Luciferase

Products from BPS Bioscience require a minimum order value above 400€

Applications: Positive control in the transduction of lung epithelial cells.Optimization of transduction assays and tracking of transgene expression over time.

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.  Surfactant protein B (SP-B) is a developmentally and hormonally regulated lung protein that is required for normal surfactant function. SP-B is selectively expressed in bronchiolar and alveolar epithelial cells of the lung and it is found to be associated with lipids. Surfactant is a mixture of proteins and lipids that allows proper inflation of the lung and breathing. Deficiency in SP-B results in lethality at birth. The human SP-B promoter fragment directs epitheliallung-cell specific transgene expression.

Description: AAV-DJ SP-B Luciferase particles transduce firefly (Photinus pyralis) luciferase under the control of a SP-B (Surfactant protein B) promoter that drives luciferase reporter expression mainly in epithelial lung cells.

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.

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

Storage Stability: AAV is shipped with dry ice. For long-term storage, it is recommended to store AAV at -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Titers can drop significantly with each freeze-thaw cycle.

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.

Warnings: Avoid freeze/thaw cycles

Biosafety Level: Not applicable (BSL-1)
