Figure 1. Map of the Sema6A-AAV2 construct, and persistence of expression.

Figure 1

(A) The N-terminally 3xFLAG-tagged rat Sema6A was cloned behind the CMV/chicken beta actin promoter. (B) PCR for semaphorin-FLAG mRNA in the brain 35 days post injection of the virus. Shown is an agarose gel electrophoresis for amplimers specific for virus-originated Sema6a mRNA 35 days post injection in brain hemispheres. For the detection of AAV-3x FLAG-Semaphorin 6A nested PCR primers were used giving a final PCR product of 223 bp. The marker is a 100 bp-ladder. lane 1: (animal #22; Sema6A AAV2); lane 2: (animal #24; Sema6A AAV2); lane 3: (animal #8; empty AAV2); lane 4: (animal #11; empty AAV2); lane 5: positive control (AAV-3x FLAG-Semaphorin 6A plasmid); lane 6: negative control (water).
