G-418 Sulfate [Geneticin] (IC-1808)

G-418 Sulfate£¨Geneticin£© Antibiotic is an aminoglycoside antibiotic, related to Gentamicin, toxic to bacteria, yeast, protozoans and helminthes, and higher plant and mammalian cells. G-418 Sulfate£¨Geneticin£© Antibiotic, also known as Antibiotic G-418 Sulfate, is produced by the bacterium Micromonospora rhodorangea and acts by binding the ribosome, thus inhibiting protein synthesis in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. G-418 Sulfate£¨Geneticin£© Antibiotic is used as a selective agent in molecular genetics experiments. Resistance to G-418 Sulfate£¨Geneticin£© Antibiotic is conferred by the neomycin resistance genes, which are dominant and are located on both transposons Tn601 (903) (aminoglycoside phosphotransferase 3¡ä [I] or APH [3¡ä]I) and Tn5 (aminoglycoside phosphotransferase 3¡ä[II] or APH [3¡ä]II). Liquid G-418 Sulfate£¨Geneticin£© Antibiotic is supplied as a clear, colorless solution containing 100mg/mL active G-418 Sulfate£¨Geneticin£© Antibiotic.

Usage:Selection in mammalian cells is usually achieved in 3 to 7 days with concentrations ranging from 400 to 1000 ¦Ìg/ml.Cells that are dividing are affected more rapidly than non-dividing cell.
