AAV with ALB(1.0) promoter driven mCitrine

This AAV expresses mCitrine driven by a liver ALB(1.0) promoter.

The ALB(1.0) is a shorter version of the ALB(1.4) promoter with a total length of 1.0 Kb. In mouse liver cells, the transgene expression from this ALB(1.0) synthetic promoter is about 3-5 times lower than that of ALB(1.4) promoter but 10-20 fold greater than that of the CMV promoter 10-20 weeks after plasmid injection into mouse liver.

mCitrine, like Venus, is derived from YFP, with increased brightness and stability. mCitrine has an Excitation/Emission spectrum of 516nm/529nm which is almost identical to that of EYFP, Venus and Topaz.
