Description
GenJet™ DNA In Vitro
Transfection Reagent for PC12
cell is pre-optimized for most efficiently transfecting
PC12 cells. PC12 is a cell line derived from a pheochromocytoma of the rat
adrenal medulla. PC12 cells stop dividing and terminally differentiate
when treated with nerve growth factor. This makes PC12 cells useful as a
model system for neuronal differentiation.
Refer to the following optimal transfection conditions for maximal transfection
efficiency on PC12 cells. GenJet™ reagent, 1.0 ml, is sufficient for 660 transfections in 24 well plates or
330 transfections in 6 well plates.
