Neural Circuit Structure and Function Studies using G-Deleted Rabies Viruses

PI: Edward Callaway

SUMMARY:
Understanding how neurological diseases impair brain function (e.g., memory retrieval and the control of movement) requires a detailed understanding of the affected cell types and neural circuits. A modified version of the rabies virus can be used to trace and experimentally manipulate neural circuits, but these cutting-edge reagents are difficult to produce and are not readily available to the neuroscience community. To generate these reagents in a more efficient manner and to encourage the use of this technology by new research groups, we have established a facility to maintain, propagate, distribute, and improve the G-deleted rabies virus system.

FACILITIES:
This NINDS funded resource is supported by the Salk Institute Core Facility for Gene Transfer, Targeting and Therapeutics (GT3 Core). The Core consists of a large 500-ft2 tissue culture (TC) room and a 500-ft2 main laboratory area, which is equipped to meet the requirements of currently offered services. These services include cloning and production of G-deleted rabies vectors, lentiviral vectors, adenoviral vectors, AAV, and VSV vectors. The TC room is equipped with 5 biological safety cabinets (2 designated for BSL2 and 3 for BSL2+ work), 5 TC incubators, an LED fluorescent microscope with camera, ultracentrifuges, and the full compliment of molecular biology and analytical equipment to meet a wide array of viral vector production needs.
