Description
GenJet™ DNA In Vitro Tranfection Reagent for SHEP is pre-optimized for transfecting SHEP cells. This human neuroblastoma cell line was cloned from a single primary tumor. Unlike other neuroblastoma cell, SHEP cells does not produce IGF-II, expresses five-fold fewer IGF-IRs than SH-SY5Y and dies in serum-free media or following exposure to metabolic stressors. Refer to the following optimal transfection conditions for maximal transfection efficiency on SHEP cells. GenJet™ reagent, 1.0 ml, is sufficient for 300 to 600 transfections in 24 well plates or 50 to 100 transfections in 6 well plates.
Summary of Optimal Transfection Conditions: Confluence on the day of transfection Cell culture conditions GenJet™ (µl) : DNA (µg) Ratio Diluent for DNA and Transfection Reagent Incubation Time to Form GenJet™/DNA Complex Presence of Serum/Antibiotics during Transfection Change Medium After Transfection Maximal Efficiency Transfection Results: Reporter Gene Plasmid Efficiency (GFP %) | ~85% DMEM with 4.5 g/L glucose, 10% FBS 3:1 Serum-free DMEM with 4.5 g/L glucose 15 minutes at RT Yes Yes, ~5 Hours After Transfection 48 hours EGFP pEGFP-N3 (CMV promoter) 80% |
Storage ConditionStore at 4 °C. If stored properly, the product is stable for 12 months or longer
