- HM3Dq receptor was specifically expressed in Hes5 negative astrocytes. Since the adeno-associated virus vector AAV2 / 5-FLEX-gfaABC 1 D-hM3Dq arranges the hM3Dq gene anteroposteriorly, when corn oil is administered, the Astro does not depend on the presence or absence of Cre recombinase activity. HM3Dq receptor is expressed at the site.
