Poly(cytidylic acid)

Product Overview

Poly(cytidylic acid), often abbreviated as Poly(C), is a synthetic homopolymer composed of cytidine monophosphate units linked by phosphodiester bonds. As a specialized biochemical reagent, this ribonucleic acid polymer plays a critical role in life science research, particularly in the study of nucleic acid structures and immune system modulation. Our manufacturing process ensures high molecular consistency and purity, making it a reliable choice for laboratories focused on advanced organic synthesis and biological assays.

This product is primarily utilized in research settings to form double-stranded RNA complexes when paired with Poly(inosinic acid). These complexes serve as vital tools for investigating antiviral mechanisms and interferon induction pathways. We adhere to strict quality control protocols to guarantee that every batch meets the rigorous demands of scientific inquiry.
