AAV with GFAP(0.7) promoter driven RFP

This AAV expresses RFP driven by an astrocyte GFAP(0.7) promoter.

This 0.7 Kb novel GFAP promoter was constructed by ligating several key regulatory elements of the 2.2Kb human GFAP promoter. It drives essentially the same expression pattern as the parental 2.2 Kb GFAP promoter but with two-fold greater activity.

RFP has an Excitation/Emission spectrum of 500nm/580nm. Other fluorescent proteins with similar spectrums include Kusabira Orange , mOrange, mOrange2, dTomato, tdTomato, DsRed, DsRed2, TurboRFP, and TagRFP
