This calcium phosphate transfection method works best in cell lines that are 1) highly transformed and 2) adherent (Hela, U2OS, SAOS2, AdAH, NPC-KT and obtain from 20% to 100% transfection efficiency depending
on the cell line). Works well for transient experiments but precautions should be used in the design and interpretation of experiments based on the discussion below. Also works
very well for generating stable cell lines. This method is quite sensitive to the amount of input plasmid. - [Read Calcium Phosphate Transfection Method]
Cell fractionation techniques are presented for the design of gradient systems for separating one or more cell types from lavages of body cavities or from mechanically or enzymically-dissociated tissues.

When choosing a particular molecule for photoactivation studies, it is necessary to have some structural knowledge of the molecule in order to design an appropriately caged species that will retain its biological inactivity until uncaging is effected. Includes synthesis of caged peptides or proteins. - [Read Design, Synthesis, and Characterization of Caged Compounds]

The culture medium is an essential component of the in vitro environment and must be selected or designed with care. This protocol provides guidelines for design of serum-containing and serum-free media, selective and specialty media, and media for growth under special conditions such as soft-agar growth. - [Read Media for Culture of Mammalian Cells Protocol]

In MOPAC, the amino-terminal and carboxy-terminal sequences of a peptide are used to design two redundant families of oligonucleotides encoding the aminoand carboxy-terminal sequences of the peptide. The primers are used either to amplify a segment of cDNA prepared by RT-PCR from a tissue known to express the protein or to amplify a segment of DNA from an established genomic or cDNA library. - [Read Mixed Oligonucleotide-primed Amplification of cDNA MOPAC Protocol]

The requirement of an optimal PCR reaction is to amplify a specific locus without any unspecific by-products. Therefore, annealing needs to take place at a sufficiently high temperature to allow only the perfect DNA-DNA matches to occur in the reaction. P - [Read PCR Program Design]
