Hygromycin B, Streptomyces sp., Sterile-Filtered Solution in 25 mM HEPES, Cell Culture-Tested

Hygromycin B is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that inhibits the growth of prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms and mammalian cells. Inhibits protein synthesis by interfering with the translocation of the 70S ribosome and causes misreading of mRNA.

Description

General description

Hygromycin B is an aminoglycoside antibiotic, inhibits the growth of prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms and mammalian cells. Inhibits protein synthesis by interfering with the translocation of the 70S ribosome and causes misreading of mRNA. Resistance to hygromycin B is conferred by a gene whose product, hygromycin B phospho-transferase that phosphorylates and inactivates the drug. Hygromycin B has been used to select mutants carrying the hygromycin B resistance gene in a wide variety of cells including bacterial, protozoal, yeast, fungal, plant, and mammalian cells. Typical concentrations used for mammalian cell selection are between 0.05 to 1 mg/ml. The appropriate concentration for use must be determined empirically for each cell type.

Warning

Toxicity: Highly Toxic & Carcinogenic / Teratogenic (I)

Physical form

50 mg/ml active antibiotic in sterile-filtered 25 mM HEPES, pH 7.2.
