Product Category: Pre-made recombinant lentivirus; LV-Synapsin-tdTOMATO; LV-Syn-tdTOMATO; Synapsin-tdTOMATO Lentivirus
Description: LV-Synapsin-tdTOMATO is a pre-made lentivirus which expresses tdTOMATO under the Synapsin promoter whcih directs tdTOMATO expression exclusively in neurons.
tdTOMATO, tandem dimeric (pseudo-monomeric) derivative of DsRed, is an exceptionally bright red fluorescent protein with around 6 times brighter than EGFP. Because the two subunits of tdTomato are linked covalently, it behaves as a monomer, and has been used successfully for N- and C- terminal fusions. It shows very low aggregation, excellent photostability and its half-time for maturation is just one hour at 37°C. The red emission and brightness of tdTomato’s make it ideal for
both in vitro and in vivo imaging studies.
