Vesicular Stomatitis Virus(VSV)

Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) is a non-segmented, negative-strand RNA virus in the genus of Vesiculovirus of Rhabdoviridae family. The genome of VSV is approximately 11kb-12kb nucleotides which encodes nucleoprotein (N), phosphoprotein (P), matrixprotein (M), glycoprotein (G) and large polymerase protein (L). The modified VSV has been widely used as an anterograde tracer.rnGlycoprotein (G) is an essential component for VSV to anterograde transsynaptic. When removed G (VSV-∆G), it will lose the ability to cross synapses, but still can express the foreign gene in high abundance. Therefore,VSV-

BrainVTA has established the recombinant VSV platform based on our experienced staffs and our advanced molecular biology techniques, could offer VSV services to promote VSV-based neuronal tracing studies.

Applications

● Multisynaptic tracing from peripheral to brain center, or the lower to the higher brain region.
● Tracking the neural networks in disease or injury model.
● Changes in neural networks during neural development.

Fig.2 VSV-GFP was injected into the dorsal hippocampus of mice, and perfusion was obtained after 72 hours. There were many signals in the lumbar segment of the spinal cord, indicating that the hippocampus anterograde transsynaptic tracing into the spinal cord.(Figure provided by Dr. Fuqiang Xu's lab of Center for Brain Science at WIPM)
