Species: HumanAssay Type: In VitroVerified Customer | Posted 11/15/2018Hygromycin was used as a selection marker for few eukaryotic cells which were engineered with Hygromycin resistant gene. Product works beautifully to inhibit translation and killing non resistant strains giving it desirable specificity.
