AAV with CMV7 promoter driven ECFP

This AAV expresses ECFP driven by an ubiquitous CMV7 promoter.

The CMV7 promoter is about 0.35 kb in length and is a shortened version of the commonly used CMV promoter. CMV7 has a truncated version of the CMV enhancer. When tested in several cell lines, this promoter provides an expression level that is about 3-5 fold lower than that of the original 0.6Kb CMV promoter.

Enhanced Cyan fluorescence protein(ECFP) is a cyan variant from the Aequorea GFP, with a Excitation/Emission spectrum around 434nm/477nm. Other versions of fluorescent proteins with similar excitation and emission spectrums include mcerulean3, mTurquoise, and SCFP
