Application

Bleomycin Sulfate is an atineoplastic antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces verticillus. It is recommended for use as a cell culture agent at 10-100 µg/mL.

Bleomycin sulfate from Streptomyces verticillus has been used: to study the impact of telomere shortening in lung fibrosisto induce lung injury and study its effect on CEACAM6 expressionas a DNA-alkylating agent to induce lung injurystudy its effect on CEACAM6 expression to cause lung injurysubsequent fibrosis in animals

Biochem/physiol Actions

Bleomycin sulfate binds to DNA, causes ssDNA scission at specific base sequences and inhibits DNA synthesis. This inhibitory action requires bleomycin to bind oxygen and a metal ion. It can also cleave RNA, to a lesser degree but more selectively. It acts as an inducer and regulator of apoptosis and inhibits tumor angiogenesis.

Caution

This product should be stored at 2-8°C.

Components

This product is a mixture of glycopeptides antibiotics containing Bleomycin A2 (70%) and B2(30%). Bleomycins differ from each other in the terminal amine and show varying biological activity.
