Rabbit |
A synthetic peptide (coupled to KLH) corresponding to amino acid residues in the N-terminal region of Blasticidin S Deaminase* from Aspergillus Terreus. |
Polyclonal |
IgG |
Antigen Affinity purification |
PBS + 1 mg/ml BSA, 0.05% NaN3 and 50% glycerol |
Storage at -20°C is recommended, as aliquots may be taken without freeze/thawing due to presence of 50% glycerol. Stable for at least 1 year at -20°C. |

BSD, blasticidin |
Retroviral vectors are commonly used for gene expression in vitro and in vivo. The structure of these vectors usually consists of one gene of interest and a selectable marker gene. Fast selection without damaging cells is a critical step for significant gene expression. Blasticidin S deaminase (Bsd) isolated from Bacillus cereus has a neutralizing action on the highly toxic antibiotic blasticidin. A variety of commercially available retroviral vectors, such lentiviral expression systems, utilize Bsd expression for selection using blasticidin. This selectable marker allows selection of stable mammalian cell lines in as little as one week. bs-70359R is a Bsd antibody that can detect Bsd expression in cells transfected with blasticidin-selectable constructs. This antibody is useful for detection of successful gene transfer in constructs that utilize blasticidin selection. |
