Application
This AAV1 viral particle is primarily used for overexpressing target genes in muscle tissues (smooth muscle, heart) and the central nervous system (CNS) / sensory organs (retina, inner ear). It is an ideal tool for research and pre-clinical studies focused on myopathies, cardiac disorders, and certain neurological or sensory genetic diseases.
Shipping
Shipped on dry ice, with temperature maintained at ≤ -80°C.
Storage
Store at -80°C to preserve viral titer and stability.
Handling Notes
Store this product at -80°C and minimize freeze-thaw cycles to preserve viral titer. For safety, handle in a certified biological safety cabinet and wear appropriate PPE (lab coat, gloves, and eye protection).
Product Disclaimer
This product is intended for research use only and is not approved for diagnostic procedures or clinical applications. Users are solely responsible for implementing appropriate safety practices and complying with all applicable laws, regulations, and institutional policies.

Quality Control
Titer Assay
qPCR/TCID50
Mycoplasma Test
No mycoplasma contamination was detected.
Sterility
Sterility testing verified the absence of microbial contamination.
Transduction Evaluation
Upon request, Creative Biolabs performs in vitro or in vivo transduction assays to assess AAV delivery to target cells and to quantify transgene expression and function.
Insert Identity Confirmation
All AAV preparations from Creative Biolabs are verified for vector-genome identity by PCR. In this assay, target cells are transduced with serial dilutions of the AAV preparation, harvested after a short incubation, and genomic DNA is isolated; a defined region of the packaged transgene is then PCR-amplified to confirm the expected sequence.
The pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) complex is a nuclear-encoded mitochondrial multienzyme complex that catalyzes the overall conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA and CO(2). It provides the primary link between glycolysis and the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, and thus is one of the major enzymes responsible for the regulation of glucose metabolism. The enzymatic activity of PDH is regulated by a phosphorylation/dephosphorylation cycle, and phosphorylation results in inactivation of PDH. The protein encoded by this gene is one of the three pyruvate dehydrogenase kinases that inhibits the PDH complex by phosphorylation of the E1 alpha subunit. This gene is predominantly expressed in the heart and skeletal muscles. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
