Why use Montana Molecular’s Live Cell Paints?
- Visualize subcellular function with the brightest fluorescent proteins in living cells
- Monitor spatial and temporal changes in cell morphology and activity
- Identify healthy and diseased phenotypes in living cells
- Assess changes in phenotype in response to drug treatment or genetic modifications
- Target expression to specific cell types in mixed cultures
- Preserve cell viability – No fixing, no staining, no lysing
- Packaged in our optimized BacMam viral delivery system
Why use a BacMam expression system?
- BacMam provides robust expression in neuronal models including primary and iPSC-derived neurons
- Low-toxicity and expression for 2-3 weeks in non-dividing cells
- Highly consistent cell-cell and well-well expression
- Easily titratable expression for rapid assay optimization
- HDAC inhibitors were not necessary to achieve expression in BrainXell’s iPSC-derived glutametergic neurons
