We first “went viral” in 2016 when we introduced the viral service, and now we’re “going viral” again!
Part stable scaffold, part epitope binding region, all fused to a fluorescent protein. “Frankenbody,” like the infamous frankenstein, was constructed by grafting different parts together. By combining two optimized elements of an antibody probe, scientists can now more easily ...
Dear scientists using AAV, We hear your questions! How much virus should I inject? How long do I need to wait? What serotype and promoter should I use to target my favorite neurons? We don’t know all of the answers, but we’re betting that your colleagues do. That’s why we’re ...
