It excites maximally near 587 nm and emits near 610 nm, making it suitable for dual-color imaging with eGFP and compatible with widely used red-channel filter sets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003emCherry is among the brightest and most photostable monomeric red FPs and is widely used for cell labeling, fusion-protein tagging, and lineage tracking in AAV-based experiments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe CMV promoter — human cytomegalovirus immediate-early promoter; strong, broadly active in most mammalian cell types — drives expression of the payload from the AAV cassette in this product.
