Amphotericin B is the generic version of Fungizone. 'Fungizone' is a trademark of E.R. Squibb & Sons, LLC. Amphotericin B is an antifungal, produced by Streptomyces nodosus. It prevents the growth of fungi by causing an increase in fungal plasma membrane permeability. It actively binds to sterols and leads to the formation of pores. It is used to prevent the contamination of cell cultures by yeast and multicellular fungi. Gibco Amphotericin B contains 250 μg of amphotericin B and 205 μg of sodium deoxycholate per mL of distilled water. The recommended working concentration ranges from 0.25 to 2.50 μg/mL.

Dual-site cGMP manufacturing
For supply chain continuity, we manufacture Gibco Amphotericin B at two separate facilities located in Grand Island, NY and Scotland, UK. Both sites are compliant with cGMP manufacturing requirements, are certified to the ISO 13485 standard, and are registered with the FDA as medical device manufacturers.

How can I decontaminate my cultures?

When an irreplaceable culture becomes contaminated, researchers may attempt to eliminate or control the contamination.

1. Determine if the contamination is bacteria, fungus, mycoplasma, or yeast. Read more here to view characteristics of each contaminant.
2. Isolate the contaminated culture from other cell lines.
3. Clean incubators and laminar flow hoods with a laboratory disinfectant, and check HEPA filters.
4. Antibiotics and antimycotics at high concentrations can be toxic to some cell lines. Therefore, perform a dose-response test to determine the level at which an antibiotic or antimycotic becomes toxic. This is particularly important when using an antimycotic such as Gibco Fungizone reagent or an antibiotic such as tylosin.

The following is a suggested procedure for determining toxicity levels and decontaminating cultures:

1. Dissociate, count, and dilute the cells in antibiotic-free media. Dilute the cells to the concentration used for regular cell passage.
2. Dispense the cell suspension into a multiwell culture plate or several small flasks. Add the antibiotic of choice to each well in a range of concentrations. For example, we suggest the following concentrations for Gibco Fungizone reagent: 0.25, 0.50, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, and 8.0 µg/mL.
3. Observe the cells daily for signs of toxicity such as sloughing, appearance of vacuoles, decrease in confluency, and rounding.
4. When the toxic antibiotic level has been determined, culture the cells for two to three passages using the antibiotic at a concentration one- to two-fold lower than the toxic concentration.
5. Culture the cells for one passage in antibiotic-free media.
6. Repeat step 4.
7. Culture the cells in antibiotic-free medium for four to six passages to determine if the contamination has been eliminated.

Abstract
Use of human tissue explants to study human infectious agents.
Authors:Grivel JC, Margolis L,
Journal:Nat Protoc
PubMed ID:19197269
The study of human cell-cell and cell-pathogen interactions that occur in the context of complex tissue cytoarchitecture is critical for deciphering the mechanisms of many normal and pathogenic processes. This protocol describes methods for culturing and infecting explants of human tissues to study the pathogenesis of human infectious agents and ... More

Selected sequences in the DNA double helix can be specifically recognized by oligonucleotides via hydrogen bonding interactions. The resulting triple helix can modulate DNA metabolism and especially interfere with transcription in a gene-specific manner. To explore the potential of triplex-forming oligonucleotides (TFOs) as gene repressors, a TFO was designed to ... More

We have reported previously that airway epithelial cells (AEC) express CD40 and that activation of this molecule stimulates the expression of inflammatory mediators, including the chemokine RANTES (regulated on activation normal T cell expressed and secreted). Because NF-kappaB regulates the expression of many inflammatory mediators, such as RANTES, we utilized ... More

'Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is a potent negative regulator capable of restraining overactivation of the renin-angiotensin system, which contributes to exuberant inflammation after bacterial infection. However, the mechanism through which ACE2 modulates this inflammatory response is not well understood. Accumulating evidence indicates that infectious insults perturb ACE2 activity, allowing for ... More
