Geneticin is an aminoglycoside related to Gentamicin and is toxic to bacteria, yeast, higher plants, mammalian cells, protozoans and helminths. The resistance genes are located on transposons Tn601(903) & Tn5 and are bacterial in derivation, but they can be expressed in eucaryotic cells. By introducing these genes into cells, resistance to Geneticin is conferred. Potency: > 450μg/mg.
