Etoposide, Thermo Scientific Chemicals

Etoposide is used as a inhibits DNA synthesis and is very active against cells in the late S and G2 phases of the cell cycle. Etoposide was reported to be used to serum starve Saos-2 M5(p53-/-) cells which were transfected by electroporation with indicated expression plasmids for flag-E2F1 and myc-EBNA3C for selection of colony forming units, thus studying the blocking effect of EBV Nuclear Antigen 3C on E2F1 Mediated Apoptosis Induced by the DNA Damage Response.
