Adenoviral infection of host cells is mediated largely by the coxsackievirus-adenovirus receptor (CAR). In many cells, however, this receptor is either absent or present at extremely low levels, reducing the efficiency of adenovirus uptake.
ViraDuctin™ Adenovirus Transduction Reagent is designed specifically to increase the efficiency of adenoviral transduction without regard to the level of CAR expression on the surface of the target cells.
*Note: The number of transductions per vial is based on the use of 6-well plates or 35 mm culture dishes. May also be used with 96-well, 24-well or 12-well plates, as well as 60 mm or 100 mm dishes. See product manual for details.
