ProtocolIn VitroGeneticin G418 (G-418 disulfate) is an inhibitor of many pro- and eukaryotes at concentrations from 1-300 microgram/mL. Resistance to G418 conferring by the neo gene from Tn5 encoding an aminoglycoside 3'-phosphotransferase, APT 3' II is commonly used in laboratory research to select genetically engineered cells[1]. In general for bacteria and algae concentrations of 5 mg/L or less are used, for mammalian cells concentrations of approximately 400 mg/L are used for selection and 200 mg/L for maintenance. Resistant clones selection could require from 1 to up to 3 weeks[2].
In VivoGeneticin G418 (G-418 disulfate) (40 and 80 mg/kg) for three consecutive days are sufficient to eliminate all nontransfected T. brucei brucei parasites from infected mice[3].

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in µL DMSO(Master liquid concentration mg/mL) ,Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug.
Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take µL DMSO master liquid, next add µL PEG300, mix and clarify, next add µL Tween 80,mix and clarify, next add µL ddH2O,mix and clarify.
Note:
  • (1) Please be sure that the solution is clear before the addition of next solvent. Dissolution methods like vortex, ultrasound or warming and heat may be used to aid dissolving.
  • (2) Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order.
