General DescriptionFormula: C 20 H 37 N 3 O 13 LD50: 6 mg/kg in mouse (i.v.);13 mg/kg in guinea pig (i.p.); 63 mg/kg in rat (i.p.) Molecular weight: Mr = 527.5 Working concentration: 50 - 1,000 µg/ml in cell culture. A commonly used concentration for the selection of mammalian cells is 200 µg/ml. However, the optimal concentration must be experimentally determined, since it may vary depending on the type of cell used.ApplicationHygromycin B is an aminoglycosidic antibiotic that inhibits protein synthesis in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is used to select and maintain the phenotype of eukaryotic cells that are stably transfected with the E. coli hygromycin-resistance gene (hyg or hph).Other NotesFor life science research only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures. Solution, 50 mg/ml, in PBS (phosphate-buffered saline), filtered through 0.2 µm pore size membrane
