This kit is a valuable tool for researchers studying the monkeypox virus, and we are proud to offer it to the scientific community.

What is the Monkeypox Virus?

Monkeypox virus (MPXV) is a zoonotic virus that can infect both humans and animals. It belongs to the Orthopoxvirus genus in the Poxviridae family.

The virus has two distinct genetic clades: the Central African clade and the West African clade. The Central African clade is considered more transmissible and causes more severe disease.

What is the ScienCell's Monkeypox Virus Detection Kit (MPXVD, #RU7178) Kit?

The MPXVD kit is designed to detect the presence of the monkeypox virus in various sample types, including dry swabs, wet swabs, cell lysates, body fluids, and other biological specimens. The kit includes all the necessary components for DNA extraction, qPCR amplification, and result interpretation, making it a comprehensive solution for monkeypox virus detection.

Key Features of the MPXVD Kit:

• Detects Both Clades: The kit

Neuronal cell lines are commonly used for in vitro neurobiology studies because they are more easily transfected compared to primary neurons and they proliferate, whereas primary neurons do not. Neuronal cell lines can be induced to differentiate into neuron-like cells, where they express neuronal markers and elaborate processes resembling axons and dendrites. While using these cells may be cost-effective, the results may not be representative of primary neurons.

As with other cell lines, neuronal cell lines are not equivalent to primary cells. By the time the cells are used in experiments, they have likely undergone numerous replications, which can result in mutations and genetic drift. Immortalized cells or those derived from tumors differ biologically from normal, differentiated neurons derived from the nervous system. Indeed, numerous studies have found large differences between neuronal lines and primary neurons. For example, a study found that PC12 cells, a neuronal line derived
