Product Name BacMam Transduction Reagent System for Mammalian Cells
Catalog No. ATR-CTR-0019
Description A baculovirus-based gene delivery system utilizing a modified Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus engineered to express mammalian cell-active promoters. The BacMam system delivers genes of up to 38 kb into dividing and non-dividing mammalian cells without viral replication. This transduction-based approach provides highly uniform gene expression across the cell population with minimal cytotoxicity, making it suitable for high-throughput screening assay development.
Intended Use Baculovirus-mediated delivery of large transgenes into mammalian cells for stable and transient expression in screening applications.
Principle / Technology Modified baculovirus transduction with mammalian promoter-driven transgene expression
Detection Method Fluorescence microscopy, luminescence plate reader, or flow cytometry depending on reporter construct
Sample Type HEK293, HeLa, U2OS, CHO, primary hepatocytes, neural stem cells, and iPSC-derived cells
Performance Range / Specifications Transduction efficiency: 80–95% in HEK293 cells at MOI 50–100; cargo capacity: up to 38 kb
Sensitivity / LOD Reproducible expression in non-dividing primary cells that are refractory to plasmid transfection
Specificity Broad cell type tropism; virus does not replicate in mammalian cells, classified at biosafety level 1
Reaction Conditions / Protocol Dilute baculovirus stock in culture medium to desired MOI; add to cells; incubate 4–6 hr; replace with fresh medium; transgene expression detectable at 16–24 hr post-transduction
Components / Formulation BacMam viral particles (ready-to-use), BacMam enhancer solution (sodium butyrate or trichostatin A), positive control BacMam-GFP virus
Storage Conditions Viral particles: 2–8 °C for short-term (2 weeks) or –80 °C for long-term; enhancer: –20 °C
Shelf Life 12 months at –80 °C for virus; 24 months for enhancer
Package Specifications 1 mL concentrated virus stock (approximately 10⁸ infectious units/mL)
Product Form Liquid viral suspension
Quality Control Infectious titer determined by GFP expression in HEK293 cells; sterility verified
Key Features Large cargo capacity accommodates full-length genes and multi-gene cassettes that exceed AAV and lentivirus packaging limits
Purity Endotoxin-free; sterile-filtered; certified nuclease-free
Concentration As specified (typically 1 mg/mL for lipid reagents)
Activity / Unit Definition Transfection efficiency: ≥70% in HEK293 cells with control plasmid at recommended ratio
Molecular Weight Varies by formulation as specified in product documentation
Source / Origin Synthetic cationic lipids and polymers; recombinant viral components where applicable
pH Range / Optimal pH Lipoplex formation optimal at pH 7.0–7.4
Shipping Conditions Cold packs; some formulations require –20 °C; do not freeze lipid emulsions
Expiration Date / Stability 6–12 months at recommended storage temperature
Regulatory / Compliance Research use only; biosafety level 1 for standard transfection; BSL-2 for viral systems
Compatibility Compatible with serum-containing and serum-free culture media; check product-specific compatibility
Recommended Buffer System Serum-free medium or PBS for complex formation; complete medium for post-transfection culture
Application Notes / Precautions Optimize reagent-to-DNA ratio per cell type; avoid antibiotic during transfection; monitor cytotoxicity
Batch-to-Batch Consistency Transfection efficiency within ±15% of reference lot on HEK293 standard
