Description
GenJet™ DNA In Vitro
Transfection Reagent for
epithelial cell is pre-optimized for epithelial
cells. By cross-linking a peptide ligand, this pre-optimized
GenJet™ reagent specifically
binds epithelial cells
and give superior efficiency on epithelial cells.
Refer to the following optimal transfection conditions for maximal transfection
efficiency on epithelial cells. GenJet™ reagent, 1.0 ml, is sufficient for 600 to
1200 transfections in 24 well plates or 300 to 600 transfections in 6 well plates.

A comparison showing superior efficiency of the
pre-optimized GenJet (Ver.
II) on normal human colonic epithelial
cells. Transfection was performed per the vendors' protocol. 0.5
µg
of GFP DNA (pEGFP-N3) per well in 24-well plate was delivered to normal human
colonic epithelial cells with different transfection methods. The GFP
positive cells were counted under a Nikon 2000 Eclipse fluorescence microscope
24 hours post transfection.
