The Kidneys of African Green Monkeys COS-7 Transfection Kit

Description

COS-7 cell line is a cell line that was derived from the kidneys of African green monkeys. These cells are widely used in scientific research, particularly in the fields of molecular biology, virology, and immunology. The name "COS" stands for "CV-1 in Origin with SV40 genetic material", as these cells were originally derived from the CV-1 cell line, which was transformed with DNA from the simian virus 40 (SV40). COS-7 cells have several advantages that make them useful for research purposes. They have a high transfection efficiency, which means that foreign DNA can be introduced into the cells with a high degree of success. Additionally, these cells have a relatively fast growth rate and are easy to maintain in culture. The cells have been used in a wide range of studies, including the characterization of viral proteins, the study of gene expression and regulation, and the investigation of cellular signaling pathways. They have also been used in the production of recombinant proteins for use in therapeutics and diagnostics. In order to undertake comprehensive and nuanced explorations, it is absolutely critical to have a cell transfection system that is both effective and targeted in its approach. With this in mind, the scientific experts at CD BioSciences have successfully engineered a highly specialized transfection kit, specifically optimized for use with the COS-7 cell line.
