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]
Karyotyping is a valuable research tool used to determine the chromosome complement within cultured cells. It is important to keep in mind that karyotypes evolve with continued culture. Because of this evolution, it is important for the interpretation of biochemical or other data, that the karyotype of a specific sub-line be determined. - [Read Karyotyping Protocol]
