Fluorescent Arrest-InDual function reagent for shRNA delivery
Fluorescent (Fl) Arrest-In™ is sulforhodamine B-conjugated
Arrest-In™. It was
developed to enable visualization in real-time, of Arrest-In-DNA
complexes in cells. Fl Arrest-In™ is a dual function
reagent, permitting visualization of transfected complexes as well
as efficient delivery of shRNA into the nucleus of transfected cells.
Features include:
Double label studies with Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP)
The rhodamine fluorescent tag (excitation
is at 560nm and emission at 580nm) allows double label experiments with
a variety of commonly available tags (GFP, FITC, biotin etc.). Fl
Arrest-In has been tested on a variety of cell types and has shown
transfection efficiencies comparable to that seen using unconjugated
Arrest-In™. Studies to assay for cytotoxic effects of both Arrest-In and
Fl Arrest-In show that both reagents had minimal to no cytotoxic effects
when compared against untreated cells. See
product insert
for data.
Fl Arrest-In™ is supplied in sterile filtered water at a concentration
of 1 mg/ml. 0.5ml, 1ml, 5x1ml and 10x1ml sizes are available. Store at
4°C for upto 12 months. Do not freeze.
