AAV2 Luciferase-eGFP

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

Applications: Use as a positive control for transductionOptimize transduction assays and track protein expression over time

Description: Adeno-Associated Virus serotype 2 (AAV2) is the best characterized AAV serotype. Nearly all recombinant AAV serotypes utilize the AAV2 inverted terminal repeats (ITRs). AAV2 requires the expression of Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycan (HSPG) on the surface of host cells for binding and internalization. Of nearly all the discovered AAV serotypes, AAV2 has the best transduction efficiency in cell culture and is the best tool for in vitro studies.These AAV particles constitutively express the firefly (Photinus pyralis) luciferase and 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.

Formulation: AAV 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. 

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

Warnings: Avoid freeze/thaw cycles.

Biosafety Level: BSL-1
