A mutated form of estrogen ligand-binding domain (ERT2) that binds to synthetic antagonists (such as tamoxifen or its derivative 4-hydroxy-tamoxifen) but not to circulating estrogens was fused to the Cre recombinase (Cre) to create the CreERT2, which requires the presence of tamoxifen for Cre recombinase activity. Therefore it makes possible to induce the recombination in cells with tamoxifen. The AAV-DJ is a synthetic serotype made from DNA family shuffling of 8 wild type serotypes of AAV, including AAV2, 4, 5, 8, 9, avian, bovine and goat AAV. AAV-DJ outperformed standard AAV serotype 1-8 in cultured cells. This AAV/DJ virus expresses CreERT2 under a CMV promoter.
