General tips | We do not recommend long-term storage for the solution, please use it up soon. |
Cell experiment:[1] | |
Cell lines |
Mouse blastocysts |
Reaction Conditions |
1.1 μg/ml α-amanitin |
Applications |
α-Amanitin inhibited the incorporation of 3H-UMP into embryos. α-Amanitin at the concentration of 1.1 μg/ml was found to inhibit RNA polymerase activity by 32%. |
Animal experiment:[1] | |
Animal models |
Preimplantation mouse embryos at the two-cell stage of development collected from CF1 female mice |
Dosage form |
0 ~ 1 μg/ml α-amanitin 48 h |
Applications |
Less than 1% of the embryos which had been treated with 1 μg/ml of α-amanitin developed to the morula or blastocyst stages. α-Amanitin can be used to determine which forms of RNA polymerase are active and the relative amounts of each form which are present in preimplantation mouse embryos. |
