PolyJet™ DNA In Vitro Transfection Reagent

Description
Based on our proprietary polymer synthesis technology, PolyJet™ DNA In Vitro Transfection Reagent is formulated as a biodegradable polymer based DNA transfection reagent that ensures effective and reproducible transfection on HEK293,
COS-7, NIH-3T3, HeLa, CHO and a broad ranges of hard-to-transfect mammalian cells. The PolyJet™ reagent is able to immobilize DNA migration during electrophoresis at very low concentration and form the transfection complex within 5 minutes at RT. A remarkable feature of the reagent is the rapid and complete degradation of polymer after transfection complex endocytosis (Figure 1), leading to much less cytotoxicity. PolyJet™ reagent, 1.0 ml, is sufficient for ~667 transfections in 24 well plates or ~333 transfections in 6 well plates, providing a very affordable alternative to the leading products for transfecting a variety of commonly used and hard-to-transfect mammalian cells.

Examples Showing Transfection Efficiency of PolyJet™ DNA In Vitro Transfection Reagent on Commonly Used Cells
PolyJet_L2K_CHO
Transfection efficiency comparison of PolyJet™ vs. lipofectamine Plus on Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells. HA tagged beta-tubulin cDNA was delivered into CHO cells with PolyJet™ (left panel) and lipofectamine Plus (right panel) respectively. FITC conjugated antibody against HA tag was utilized to pick up HA-beta-tubulin (Green) while a DM1a antibody was used to detect endogenous alpha-tubulin followed by probing with rhodamine conjugated secondary antibody (Red). The above picture was provided by Dr. Shang Yin of University of Texas at Houston Medical School as courtesy

PolyJet_L2K_HEK293
A comparison showing transfection efficiency of PolyJet™ reagent vs. a leading product, Lipofectamine 2000 on HEK293FT cells. HEK-293FT cells were transfected with GFP vector (pEGFP-N3) by PolyJet™ (left panel) and Lipofectamine 2000 (right panel) respectively. The cells were visualized by Nikon Eclipse Fluorescence microscope 24 hours post transfection

PolyJet_L2K_HepG2
A comparison showing transfection efficiency of PolyJet™ reagent vs. a leading product, Lipofectamine 2000 on HepG2 cells. HepG2 cells were transfected with GFP vector (pEGFP-N3) by PolyJet™ (left panel) and Lipofectamine 2000 (right panel) respectively. The cells were visualized by Nikon Eclipse Fluorescence microscope 24 hours post transfection

PolyJet_Fugene_HD_MDCK
Transfection efficiency comparison of PolyJet™ vs. Fugene HD on MDCK cells. A plain GFP DNA was transduced into MDCK cells with PolyJet™ (left panel) and Fugene HD (right panel) reagents respectively per manufacturers' protocols. GFP and DAPI staining were visualized under fluorescence microscopy 48 hours post tansfection. The above comparison data and pictures were completed and provided by Dr. Ge Zhou of NYU Medical Center as courtesy

PolyJet_L2K_MDCK
A comparison showing transfection efficiency of PolyJet™ reagent vs. a leading product, Lipofectamine 2000 on MDCK cells. MDCK cells are notoriously hard to transfect. With proprietary "Shaved Cell Transfection" protocol, PolyJet™ (left panel) gives up to 70% GFP positive cells vs. Lipofectamine 2000 (right panel) around 5% efficiency. MDCK cells were transfected with GFP vector (pEGFP-N3) by PolyJet™ (left panel) and Lipofectamine 2000 (right panel) respectively. The cells were visualized by Nikon Eclipse Fluorescence microscope 36 hours post transfection

PolyJet_Fugene_HD_LNCap
A comparison showing transfection efficiency of PolyJet™ reagent vs. a leading product, Fugene HD on LNCap cells. LNCap cells were transfected with GFP vector (pEGFP-N3) by PolyJet™ (left panel) and Fugene HD (right panel) respectively. The cells were visualized by Nikon Eclipse Fluorescence microscope 24 hours post transfection

Testimonials:


Sorry for sooo big delay, but now I am totally in love with PolyJet. I have used PolyJet for a while on mouse ESCs with relatively good efficiency 50~70%.

--------Marina Pryzhkova, Ph.D., JHU


PolyJet Transfection Reagent worked equally as well as lipofectamine 2000, with little evidence of cell death on 293, PC-3 and 22RV1 cells. I will defiantly consider switching over.

-----Tiffany Wallace, Ph.D., NCI / NIH


I only did side by side with the testing sample (PolyJet) and Lipo2000 with GFP transfection on COS-7 cells. The result was very good. PolyJet was even better than L2K.

------Feng Qiao, Ph.D., NEI / NIH


I tested the sample of PolyJet on my NIH-3T3 mouse fibroblasts this weekend. The results were much better than Lipofecatmine LTX. I'm attaching a powerpoint slide with my results (I did not quantify the % transfection efficiency, but the pictures get the point across). I found that the protocol for difficult-to-transfect cell lines worked better than the standard protocol.

-----Stephanie Murphy, Ph.D., Dartmouth College


I had chance to try your product finally. It was great success. I used HeLa cells and got 10% transfection efficiency (<0.1% for Lipofectamine). Thank you! I was wondering if I also try GenJet™ Plus DNA In Vitro Transfection Reagent? According to your website, the reagent works better than regular PolyJet.

-------Yumi Uetake, Ph.D., UMASS


I tested PolyJet and it looks great on MDCK. We placed order. Thank you!

-------Ge Zhou, Ph.D., NYU


We are happy to provide feedback. PolyJet worked very well for us in HepG2 cells, we got approximately 80% efficiency with pMAX GFP plasmid, by following the conditions in your suggested protocol. We ran a comparison with Lipofectamine, which only showed approximately 20-30% transfection efficiency. We are planning experiments and will be ordering more soon.

-------Emily Mcallister, PBRC
