New product of the week 01-11-10 to 01-17-10

Light-driven proton pumps were used to to silence the activity of genetically specified neurons in a report by Chow et al. in the latest issue of Nature. Genetic delivery of proton pump proteins, Arch and Mac, will be of significant help to neurology labs. We have started put these genes into Allele Biotech’s ready-to-infect lentivirus and retrovirus, which will be available for shipping within a week or two. Allele Biotech decided to list these viral particle products as this WEEK’S NEW PRODUCT among a good number of choices to reflect our model of doing business and science: move fast and stay on the front edge of multiple moving fields.

New product of the week 01-11 to 01-17-10: arch and mac Expression Lentiviral Particles Cat # ABP-RP-TLCARC or TLCMAC.
