Alexis Bouin, Ginny Wu, Orkide O. Koyuncu, et al. New rabies viral resources for multi-scale neural circuit mapping. Mol Psychiatry (2024). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41380-024-02451-6

Our new recombinant Rabies Virus (RV) tools for multi-scale imaging express a range of improved fluorescent proteins. We have developed 20 new RV vectors for multi-scale and multi-modal neural circuit mapping tools. We have refined the virus to target specific neuronal subcellular locations of interest. These tools can also be used in EM and in vivo imaging. 

All viruses are propagated on B7GG cells, concentrated and purified via ultra-centrifugation. Titers are validated via plaque assay and meet our titer of 108 PFU/mL (plaque forming units per mL)


G-Deleted Rabies Virus

All G-Deleted Rabies viruses are propagated on B7GG cells and purified via ultracentrifugation. Titers are validated via plaque assay and meet our titer of 108 PFU/mL (plaque forming units per mL). Sold as a 10ul aliquot.

EnvA Pseudotyped G-deleted Rabies Virus

EnvA-pseudotyped recombinant rabies cannot infect mammalian cells but it will infect only the cells that express exogenous receptor TVA on it surface (starter cells).

All EnvA Pseudotyped G-Deleted Rabies viruses are propagated on EnvA-B7GG cells and purified via ultracentrifugation. Titers are validated via plaque assay and meet our titer of 108 PFU/mL (plaque forming units per mL). Sold as a 10ul aliquot.

Helper AAVs

Helper AAVs are produced in HEK293 cells, purified via cesium chloride gradient and ultracentrifugation. Titers are validated via droplet ddPCR and meet our titer of 1 x 1013 GC/mL (genome copies per mL). Helper AAVs are validated with the AAV8 serotype. Sold as a 50ul aliquot. If you require another serotype it will be a full size prep of 0.5mL.
