From August 2022 on, international shipments will be shipped only on Mondays or Fridays (only for certain countries). Repository orders need therefore to be placed until Thursday, 6 a.m. (CET).
The VVF is making a summer break. No new viral vector productions will be initiated from July, 18 to 31.
The Viral Vector Facility will be closed for Christmas holidays from December 24, 2021 until January 9, 2022.
Currently, no new serotypes can be produced for the AAV vector repository.
The technology platforms and core facilities available at the UZH present themselves at the Core Day 2021.
The Viral Vector Facility will be closed for Christmas holidays from December 24, 2020 until January 3, 2021.
The VVF is open, shipping repository orders and accepting custom made orders
Due to the Corona virus spread, the VVF will be closed from 23 March 2020 until further notice.
On January 01, 2020, the VVF has officially become a central technology platform of the University of Zurich.
The VVF will be closed for Christmas holidays from December 21, 2019 until January 5, 2020.
Due to server issues, the ordering system of the VVF is currently not available.
Due to the moving of lab and office rooms, some of the services of the VVF will not be available between July 22, 2019 and August 4, 2019.
The unexpected shutdown of the sequencing service from Eurofins Genomics will lead to delays in production and delivery of viral vectors.
The VVF will be closed from December 22nd, 2018 until January 6th, 2019.
AAV-6(F129L) offers superior transduction of epithelial cells.
Lonza Pharma & Biotech grants access to Anc80L65 AAV vectors for non-commercial (academic) research.
Efficient transduction in vitro and in vivo mediated by AAV-DJ, -DJ/8 and -DJ/9 vectors.
A new AAV capsid variant, rAAV2-retro, which shows superior retrograde axonal transport, was reported recently and is now available through the VVF.
The DREADD AAV vectors from Bryan Roth's lab will be made available as small aliquots via our repository.
The Viral Vector Facility now offers the production of AAV serotype 3B and 4 vectors.
The Viral Vector Facility has established a new protocol for the purification of AAV vectors, omitting the time consuming freeze-thaw step by using the Minilys from Bertin Technologies.
We and others have detected mutations or deletions within the 5'-ITR of several AAV plasmids. We have developed a strategy for replacing a defective 5'-ITR.
The program for the opening and information event is now available.
The VVF invites everybody interested to its opening and information event on September 2, 2015.
The VVF of the ZNZ is pleased to announce its official opening for ZNZ members on July 1, 2015.
