AAV with cTNT promoter driven Venus

This AAV expresses Venus driven by a cardiac cTNT promoter.

cTNT promoter is a 0.4 Kb fragment derived from the chicken troponin T gene, and drives cardiomyocyte muscle-specific gene expression.

Like mCitrine and EYFP, Venus was developed in an effort to get better variants of YFP in terms of brightness and photo-stability. Venus has an Excitation/Emission spectrum of 515nm/529nm which is almost identical to that of EYFP and mCitrine.
