AAV-Grm6-EGFP

AAV-Grm6-EGFP series viruses are ready to use AAV vectors carrying Grm6-EGFP expression cassette. The AAV-Grm6-EGFP vectors are available with 16 different serotypes, and there are over 1000 AAV serotypes/variants to be choose for custom AAV packaging.
The GRM6 promoter is the regulatory region responsible for controlling the expression of the Glutamate Receptor, Metabotropic 6 (GRM6) gene. This gene encodes a metabotropic glutamate receptor that is primarily expressed in the retina, specifically in the ON bipolar cells. ON bipolar cells play a crucial role in the visual system by processing light signals and transmitting them to the brain. It is an important tool in retinal gene therapy, vision research, and the development of transgenic models to study retinal function and diseases affecting ON bipolar cells. The specificity of the GRM6 promoter to ON bipolar cells makes it invaluable for targeting gene expression in the visual system.
By employing EGFP as a reporter, researchers gain the ability to effortlessly visualize and quantify the transduction efficiency of AAV vectors within target cells, further enhancing the precision of their experiments.

Background

AAV viruses or AAV vectors, are a convenient solution for researchers who need to perform gene delivery experiments, such as gene therapy, gene editing, and gene regulation. The premade AAV viruses are available in various serotypes, promoters, and reporters/transgenes, allowing researchers to choose the most suitable vector for their specific research application. With over a thousand known AAV serotypes, customers have the tools to rapidly determine the vector specificity for various cell types. Additionally, the availability of multiple promoters paired with reporter genes allows for easy assessment and monitoring of gene expression levels and timing.

To ensure high-quality and pure products, various assays are used to assess the quality and purity of their AAV vectors:
· Gene specific qPCR Titer: Target the specific transgenes or common used elements, such as WPRE, CMV, PolyA, but not ITR.
· Full/Empty Particle Ratio: Ensure all the premade AAVs has >80% full particles by Mass Photometry.
· Endotoxin Testing: Ensure safety with endotoxin level <1U/1e13VG.
· SDS-PAGE Gel: Assess the purity of the AAV viruses is great than 95%.
· Infectivity Assay: Evaluate the efficiency of AAV viruses in transducing target cells if they have reporters.
