Does anybody know where I could purchase a good GFAP-GFP lentiviral vector?

19 September 2013 1 9K Report

I would like to label astrocytes for live cell imaging in organotypic slices of rat spinal cord. I have also considered using biolistic transfection with Lck-GFP or diolistic labelling but I currently don’t have access to a gene gun so alternative suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
