The fosGFP Mouse was created to address a fundamental question in neuroscience and physiology: following a behavioral task or exposure to a drug, what are the changes in physiological properties of activated neurons and cells?
Researchers at Stanford have developed and patented rAAV vectors that can be used to transfer long nucleic acids into cells. Recombinant AAV vectors are limited by a restricted amount of exogenous DNA that can be placed into the vector.
