Advanced Biomatrix has launched Peptite-2000, a new cell-adhesion product.
Peptite-2000 is a synthetic peptide containing the RGD cell attachment sequence found in fibronectin, vitronectin and many other extracellular matrix and serum proteins.
This RGD peptide has been specifically engineered to spontaneously adhere to a variety of surfaces such as polystyrene (either tissue-culture treated or non-treated), hollow fibres made of cellulose, glass, polycarbonate membranes and many other materials.
This binding is medicated via a hydroscopic C-terminal sequence.
The RGD motif is present at the N-terminal end of the peptide, allowing for optimal cell attachment via integrin receptors.
Peptite-2000 can be substituted as the primary cell attachment component in chemically defined animal-component-free and serum-free culture systems.
Peptite-2000 is supplied in sterile 5mg quantities.
