In vitro study | G418 is an inhibitor of many prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms at concentrations of 1-300 μg/ml. Resistance to G418 by the neo gene of Tn5 encoding aminoglycoside 3 '-phosphotransferase, APT 3'II is commonly used in laboratory studies to select genetically engineered cells [1]. Typically, for bacteria and algae a concentration of 5mg / L or less is used, for mammalian cells a concentration of about 400mg / L is used for selection and 200mg / L is used for maintenance. Selection of resistant clones may take 1 to 3 weeks [2]. |
In vivo study | Three consecutive days of G418(40 and 80 mg/kg) were sufficient to eliminate all untransfected Brucella herpesvirus parasites in infected mice. |
Risk Codes | R20/21/22 - Harmful by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed. R36/37/38 - Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin. R42/43 - May cause sensitization by inhalation and skin contact. |
Safety Description | S22 - Do not breathe dust. S24/25 - Avoid contact with skin and eyes. S36/37 - Wear suitable protective clothing and gloves. S23 - Do not breathe vapour. S36 - Wear suitable protective clothing. S26 - In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice. S45 - In case of accident or if you feel unwell, seek medical advice immediately (show the label whenever possible.) |

Animal experiment | In order to characterize the sensitivity of the trypanosome population to G418 in vivo, the blood flow forms of Brucella brucei GUTat 3.1 and Brucella brucei GUTat 3.1 / BBR3 were amplified separately in mice with sublethal radiation. Before the first peak of parasitemia, trypanosomes were collected and aliquots containing 106 trypanosomes were intraperitoneally inoculated into mice. 24 hours after infection, the mice were divided into groups and treated with G418 at doses of 10,20,30,40,50 or 80mg / kg body weight (bw) by intraperitoneal inoculation of 0.2mL of the drug. In sterile water. At 24 and 48 hours after the first treatment, G418 was administered to each group of animals at the same dose as before, resulting in three treatments per mouse. Repeated drug therapy is required to ensure complete elimination of untransfected GUTat 3.1 parasites from mice. The mice were then monitored daily for 33 days by microscopic examination of the wet blood membrane to detect the presence of parasites. The animals where the parasite was found were recorded and then removed from the experiment. |
biological activity | Geneticin (G418 Sulfate), an aminoglycoside antibiotic, is an inhibitor of 80 S ribosomes extension, in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells It can block polypeptide synthesis by inhibiting the extension step. |
use | blocks polypeptide synthesis by interfering with ribosome function. Not a commonly used standard antibiotic, it is often used to select prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells transfected with neomycin resistance gene. It is widely used in gene transfer, gene knockout, resistance screening and transgenic animals. |
