AAV with CMV-IVS promoter driven ECFP

This AAV expresses ECFP driven by an ubiquitous CMV-IVS promoter.

The CMV-IVS promoter is about 1.1 kb in length and consists of the commonly used CMV promoter/enhancer and the intron (IVS) from beta-globin . The presence of intron elements was shown to give a higher level of transgene expression than that of the original CMV promoter/enhancer.

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
