• Real-time and Dynamic Monitoring of Virus-mediated Cytopathogenicity
  

  To understand overall infectivity, virus progression and disease onset it is important to perform a detailed examination of cytopathic effects. Depending on the type of viruses and cells, different cytopathic effects might be observed dependent on the timepoint of infection (e.g., during the growth or stationary phase) and the amount of virus used. One of the most common methods for measuring lysogenic/lytic activity of viruses is the plaque test [1]. In this assay culture plates with confluent cells that are sensitive towards the specific virus type/strain are used. Lytic activity of a virus is detected by macroscopic analysis of plaques in a confluent cell layer after staining (e.g., with crystal violet). This technique is an end-point assay and it is well-suited to determine viral titers; however, it provides no information about the onset of cytopathic effects and kinetics of the viral replication. Moreover, infection with a number of viruses (e.g., attenuated mutants) leads to the formation of small and more

• Superiority of FuGENE® HD Transfection Reagent in Minimizing Non-Specific Cellular Interferon Responses
  

  Many viruses, including human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), encode for genes that can modulate or interfere with the ability of cells to mount an effective antiviral response to infection. Transfection of viral genes into cultures of mammalian cells is an important research tool to evaluate the function of viral gene products. We utilized this approach to identify viral genes involved in modulation of interferon (IFN)-mediated cell signaling pathways. more

• Enabling Cancer Research with FuGENE® HD Transfection Reagent
  

  A major problem in some areas of cancer research is the difficulty of transfecting a significant number of the cells of interest, while minimizing the cytotoxic or other off-target effects of the transfection event itself. It is well-known that the use of some transfection reagents results in high levels of expression of the gene of interest in surviving cells, but also in high levels of cell death or other cellular alterations. FuGENE® HD Transfection Reagent overcomes these problems, results in high ­levels of transfection in many cancer cell lines, and thus enables researchers to conduct experiments that have previously not been possible. more
