Poly-L-lysine hydrobromide (MW 4000-15000)
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Poly-L-lysine hydrobromide (MW 4000-15000) is a positively charged amino acid polymer that acts as a non-specific attachment factor for cells. Poly-L-lysine hydrobromide (MW 4000-15000) enhances the electrostatic interaction between the negative ions of the cell membrane and the surface of the culture medium, thereby promoting the adhesion of cells to solid substrates. Poly-L-lysine hydrobromide (MW 4000-15000) can be used for gene delivery.

Description
In Vitro
Poly-L-lysine hydrobromide (MW 4000-15000) is used as a base coating reagent for cell culture in the cell surface labeling experiment. It promotes the adhesion of HEK293T cells on glass slides, ensuring the feasibility and accuracy of the experiment[1].
Poly-L-lysine hydrobromide (MW 4000-15000) forms a complex (polyplex) by electrostatic interaction with negatively charged plasmid DNA (pDNA), thereby introducing genes into cells. In the presence of CaCl₂, the low molecular weight (MW 1000-5000) (HY-126437I) achieves the most efficient gene transfection while maintaining the lowest cytotoxicity, making it an ideal safe and efficient vector[2].
