よくあるご質問(FAQ)
Which of your antibiotics (Geneticin, Zeocin, Hygromycin B, Blasticidin, and Puromycin) can be used together for stable selection in mammalian cells?
All of our antibiotics (Geneticin, Zeocin, Hygromycin B, Blasticidin, and Puromycin) can be used together for making multiple stable cell lines. However, kill curves will need to be performed for each combination of antibiotics since sensitivity to a given antibiotic tends to increase when combined with other antibiotics.
What are the recommended concentrations of antibiotics to use for selection in prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
For best results, optimal concentrations for selection should be determined empirically in each unique experiment through dose response curves. However, to get a general idea of concentrations that have worked for individual cell types, please click on the following url: http://www.thermofisher.com/us/en/home/life-science/cell-culture/transfection/selection.html or type in Selection Antibiotics into our main search on www.thermofisher.com.
What is the mode of action on the following antibiotics: Blasticidin, Geneticin (G418), Hygromycin, and Zeocin?
Blasticidin: Nucleoside Inhibits protein synthesis in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells by interfering with peptidyl transfer reaction of protein synthesis, causing early termination of translation.
Geneticin (G418): Aminoglycoside Blocks protein synthesis in mammalian cells by interfering with ribosomal function.
Hygromycin: Aminocyclitol Inhibits protein synthesis by disrupting translocation and promoting mistranslation.
Zeocin: Intercalates with DNA and cleaves it.
What is the optimal pH of low salt LB for LB + blasticidin plates?
We recommend a pH of 7 or less and half the normal amount of NaCl in your LB media or plates.
See the following paper for details on optimal conditions: Yamaguchi et al (1965) Inhibition of Protein Synthesis by Blasticidin S. Journal of Biochemistry (Tokyo) Volume 57: pp 667-677.
How long can Blasticidin be stored at 4 degrees C after thawing? Does the unused portion have to be discarded after thawing?
Blasticidin is stable for 6 months when stored at 4 degrees C. Discard remaining material after this time.
Suppression of Ras-mediated tumorigenicity and metastasis through inhibition of the Met receptor tyrosine kinase.

'Mutations in the Ras family of GTP binding proteins represent one of the most frequently observed genetic alterations in human cancers. We and others have recently demonstrated that expression of Met, the tyrosine kinase receptor for hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF), is significantly up-regulated in Ras-transformed cells. Because HGF/SF-Met signaling ... More
Structural basis of G protein specificity of human endothelin receptors. A study with endothelinA/B chimeras.
'The endothelin (ET) family of peptides acts via two subtypes of guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory protein (G protein)-coupled receptors termed ETA and ETB. ET-1 stimulated cAMP formation in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells stably expressing human wild-type ETA (CHO/hETA cells) while it inhibited cAMP formation in CHO cells expressing human wild-type ...

West Nile virus discriminates between DC-SIGN and DC-SIGNR for cellular attachment and infection.
'The C-type lectins DC-SIGN and DC-SIGNR bind mannose-rich glycans with high affinity. In vitro, cells expressing these attachment factors efficiently capture, and are infected by, a diverse array of appropriately glycosylated pathogens, including dengue virus. In this study, we investigated whether these lectins could enhance cellular infection by West Nile ... More
Presenilin 1 mutations activate gamma 42-secretase but reciprocally inhibit epsilon-secretase cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP) and S3-cleavage of notch.

Journal:J Biol Chem
PubMed ID:12119298
'The presenilin 1 (PS1) and presenilin 2 (PS2) proteins are necessary for proteolytic cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) within its transmembrane domain. One of these cleavage events (termed gamma-secretase) generates the C-terminal end of the Abeta-peptide by proteolysis near residue 710 or 712 of APP(770). Another event (termed ... More
Pattern of genes influenced by conditional expression of the transcription factors HNF6, HNF4alpha and HNF1beta in a pancreatic beta-cell line.
'Using the rat insulinoma cell line INS-1 we generated beta-cell clones that are most efficient for gene transfer, as they contain an FRT site for Flp recombinase-mediated, site-directed integration of a single copy transgene. Therefore, the gene-of-interest can be introduced by DNA transfection without the need to select individual cell ... More
