Principle of BacMam Reagents

BacMam 2.0 GFP particles enter the cell by endocytosis. After endosomal escape the BacMam DNA moves to the nucleus where only the transgene is expressed; baculovirus genes are not recognized in mammalian cells—hence no virus replication and no toxicity. Transgene expression begins 4-6 hours after transduction. Peak gene expression is generally reached after 24 to 48 h and lasts from 4 to 5 days in transformed cells to more than 2 weeks in slowly dividing cell types.
