pAAVdual-EF1a-Cluc

pAAVdual-EF1a-Cluc is used to produce AAV-EF1a-Cluc virus using novel AAVdual production system. In this plasmid, the regular single strand AAV genome with a EF1a promoter and an Cluc reporter is cloned into our novel Ad helper plasmid, mini-pHelper. AAV-EF1a-Cluc viruses can be generated by co-transfection of this plasmid with regular AAV helper (pRCap) plasmids, carrying AAV2 rep gene and different cap genes, without adding additional Ad helper plasmid to supply E2A, E4orf6 and VA RNA functions.
The EF1a promoter, also known as the cytomegalovirus promoter, is a widely used promoter sequence in molecular biology and biotechnology. It is derived from the immediate early promoter of the cytomegalovirus and is commonly used to drive the expression of genes in a variety of experimental and practical applications.
Cypridina luciferase (Cluc), a bioluminescent reporter protein derived from the marine ostracod Cypridina noctiluca. Cluc emits light in the blue range when it catalyzes the oxidation of its substrate, Cypridina luciferin. This property makes Cluc an excellent tool for various biological research applications, particularly in non-invasive imaging and real-time monitoring of biological processes. AAV-Cluc is a powerful tool for researchers looking to perform sensitive, non-invasive imaging and real-time monitoring of gene expression and biological processes. Its high sensitivity and low background make it particularly useful for in vivo studies and applications where continuous, non-destructive observation is required.
