27. AAV2 is a commonly used serotype for transgene delivery to restricted brain regions but its transport efficiency is limited (26, 64). We resolved this drawback by cross-packaging rAAV2 with viral capsids from other AAV serotypes to generate hybrid species such as rAAV2/1 (59, 64).
28. EYFP was expressed under the control of a hybrid CAG promoter. Three tandem repeats of the nuclear localization signal (NLS) from the simian virus 40 large T antigen were added to the C terminus of EYFP to facilitate translocation of EYFP into the nucleus of infected neurons.

34. To increase rAAV packaging capacity and to avoid bleaching during in vivo photostimulation, EYFP was replaced with a nonfluorescent FLAG tag. FLAG was placed between a 20-amino acid trafficking signal and an ER-exporting motif, both derived from the inward-rectifier potassium ion channel Kir2.1 and introduced to improve membrane trafficking (35).
