G418 - 50mg/mL

Product information "G418 - 50mg/mL"

G418 also known as Geneticin(TM), is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that inhibits protein synthesis in mammalian cells by interfering with ribosomal function. G418 shows a structure similar to gentamycin > and kanamycin > and finds application in the selection of stably transformed cells expressing the neomycin resistance gene (aminoglycoside) of transposons Tn 5 or Tn 601.

Because G418 is toxic for many cells, the optimum concentration for each cell type has to be determined. It is usually between 50ug/mL and 1000μg/mL. At a concentration of 500μg/mL, for example, 70% of HepG2 cells are killed after incubation for one week and 100% will stop their growth. Since potency of the antibiotic can vary from batch to batch, it is recommended to create large stocks of a batch tested to standardize the system.

Cells divide still once or twice in the presence of the lethal dose of G418, so that a selection effect will be visible only after several days. Geneticin is a registered trademark of Gibco, a Division of Life Technologies.

Genaxxon's G418 is an alternative to ThermoFisher / Invitrogen product no. 10131035 and 10131027, or a replacement for BioChrom product no.: A 2812.

Do not use G418 together wirh anitbiotic/antifungal preparations (e.g. Pen/Strep). These agents are competitive inhibitors of G418. Other antibiotics are potentially cross-reactive as well.
