Description
GenJet™ DNA In Vitro
Tranfection Reagent for
BHK-21 cell is pre-optimized for transfecting
BHK-21 cells. BHK-21 cells is one of the most commonly used cells
for vaccine production. When used for this application, usually a cell strain
adapted to grow in suspension is used.
Refer to the following optimal transfection conditions for maximal transfection
efficiency on BHK-21 cells. GenJet™ reagent, 1.0 ml, is sufficient for 300 to
600 transfections in 24 well plates or 150 to 300 transfections in 6 well plates.
