G418 vs. neomycin in selection of transfected culture cells

[Christoph Grunau]

Dear all,

does anybody knows the advantage of using G418 and not neomycin for the
selection of (human) culture cells after transfection with a vector
that contains the neomycin resistant gene?

Thanks for your input!

Christoph
