The BacMam system uses a modified insect cell virus (baculovirus) as a vehicle to efficiently deliver and express genes in mammalian cells with minimum effort and toxicity. Invitrogen offers a variety of reagents and services utilizing the BacMam system to expand your research efforts.
Advantages of the BacMam system include:
- Efficient transduction of mammalian cell lines, including primary cells and stem cells
- Safety (non-replicating in mammalian cells) and lack of observable cytopathic effect
- Frozen storage of pre-transduced cells generates assay-ready cells
- Portability (do assays in pharmacologically relevant cell types)
- Assay development speed (no need to spend time generating a stable cell line)
