Adeno-associated viral vectors (AAV) are frequently used by neuroscientists to deliver tools, such as biosensors and optogenetic and chemogenetic actuators, . Despite its widespread use, AAV vector characterization and quality control can vary between labs and viral vector cores leading to variable results and irreproducibility. This protocol describes some of the characterization and quality control assays necessary to confirm an AAV vector's titer, genomic identity, serotype and purity.
腺相关病毒载体(AAV)被神经科学家广泛用于递送工具,如生物传感器、光遗传学和化学遗传学致动器。尽管其应用广泛,但不同实验室和病毒载体核心之间对AAV载体的表征和质量控制可能存在差异,从而导致结果可变且不可重复。本方案描述了一些用于确认AAV载体滴度、基因组同一性、血清型和纯度所需的表征和质量控制检测方法。
