JAX: 000664
Age at Injection
3 months

4 weeks
Detection Method
Direct fluorescence
Assay & Results
Expressed in ventral dentate gyrus, putative excitatory neurons.
Functional Testing
Used 4OHT to express Cre, which facilitated expression of hM3Dq-mCherry. Worked as expected.
Other Information
No toxicity, no inflammation, worked well.
Tips & Comments
Used AAV8 to match serotype of other co-injected virus. Would not change anything.
