Q:

Can MycoZap™ Prophlyactic be used in cell cultures expressing a Tet repressor?

A:

One of the MycoZap™ Prophylactic components interacts with the Tet repressor, leading to unwanted expression of genes expressed under the control of a Tet response element in lines. Therefore, MycoZap™ Prophylactic is not suited for cell cultures with the Tet expression system.
