Looking for Clontech Adeno-X-AcGFP1 control marker virus (#632504) - (Jan/22/2014 )

We perform a DNA repair assay in the lab that uses Clontech's Adeno-X-AcGFP1 control marker adenovirus (cat #632504).  Unfortunately, we have lost our viral stock and the assay is very specific for this backbone.  Clonetech no longer sells this virus and I haven't found another source for it.  If anyone has an aliquot of viral stock that they would be willing to share, I can send a pre-printed FedEx label for shipping.  Any help or other leads on where to find this particular adenovirus would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Lisa McPherson

Hey Lisa,

I checked Highwire.stanford.edu and one article popped up...http://highwire.stanford.edu/cgi/searchresults?fulltext=Adeno-X-AcGFP1&x=23&y=12&andorexactfulltext=and&searchsubmit=redo&resourcetype=1.

Maybe you can contact them for an aliquot.

Good Luck!

How did you find that article?

If I press your link, I do not see it.

In highwire I typed in: Adeno-X-AcGFP1

Direct link to article: http://www.fasebj.org/content/25/5/1767.abstract?maxtoshow=&HITS=10&hits=10&RESULTFORMAT=&fulltext=Adeno-X-AcGFP1&andorexactfulltext=and&searchid=1&FIRSTINDEX=0&resourcetype=HWCIT

Yes, I noticed that, but I saw nothing ...

But today I do get a result... strange. I guess the website, highwire, was down or something yesterday.

Hi Jerry
Thanks for your reply. I had contacted the authors of that paper but received no response. I found another paper but it was from Germany. I might try to find the name of the lab manager in the lab in Boston since the senior author is likely too busy to respond.

Good deal. I have found that PI's are more likely to grant the requests of undergraduates and lower level graduate students if that helps your case any.
