The AfCS is utilizing antisense technology to manipulate signaling protein expression in the RAW 264.7 macrophage-like cell line. This can be achieved by the transfection of gene-specific antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs). The following procedure involves the transfection of ASOs into RAW 264.7 cells using FuGENE 6 transfection reagent. Subsequently, the isolated total RNA or protein from these transfected cells can be used to assess the level of mRNA or protein knockdown, respectively. - [Read Antisense Oligonucleotide Transfection of RAW 264.7 Cells with FuGENE 6 in a 24-Well Dish]

Category: Reporter Gene Assays: B-Galactosidase Assay Protocols

The recommended amount of RSV-ß-Galactosidase plasmid to use for transfection of cells (60 mm or 100 mm dish) is 1-2 µg. The optimal amount of plasmid DNA will be determined by the efficiency of transfection , which is very dependent upon the particular cell line and transfection protocol. - [Read B- Galactosidase Assay Protocol]

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]

This protocol,is based on the venerable method of Graham and van der Eb (1973). The procedure is used chiefly to generate stable lines of cells carrying chromosomally integrated copies of the transfected DNA. - [Read Calcium-phosphate-mediated Transfection of Cells with High-molecular-weight Genomic DNA]

Category: Transfection Protocols: Calcium Phosphate Transfection Protocols

Calcium phosphate forms an insoluble precipitate with DNA, which attaches to the cell surface and is taken into the cells by endocytosis. The protocol is easily adapted for use with other types of cells, both adherent and nonadherent. This protocol is a modified version of a method published by Jordan et al. (1996) who rigorously optimized calcium-phosphate-based transfection methods for Chinese hamster ovary cells and the 293 line of human embryonic kidney cells. - [Read Calcium-phosphate-mediated Transfection of Eukaryotic Cells with Plasmid DNAs]

The following protocol can be used for the development of stable cell lines expressing GFP fusion proteins. Although optimal transfection procedures (e.g., calcium phosphate, electroporation, or FuGENE 6 [Roche Applied Science]) vary depending on cell type, this general transfection procedure has been successful for stable transfection of HeLa, A-431, U2OS, BHK, and HT1080 cells. - [Read Constructing and Expressing GFP Fusion Proteins]

Category: Transfection Protocols: Stable Transfection Protocols

Pulsed electrical fields can be used to introduce DNA into a wide variety of animal cells. Electroporation works well with cell lines that are refractive to other techniques, such as calcium phosphate-DNA coprecipitation. But, as with other transfection methods, the optimal conditions for electroporating DNA into untested cell lines must be determined experimentally. - [Read DNA Transfection by Electroporation]

Category: Transfection Protocols

Protocol should be viewed as a starting point for systematic optimization of transfection mediated by lipofecting agents. Once a positive signal has been obtained from a transfected plasmid carrying a standard reporter gene, optimal conditions for transfection can be established by systematic variation of parameters such as the initial cell density, the amount and purity of DNA, the media and serum, and the time of exposure of the cells to the cationic-lipid-DNA complex. - [Read DNA Transfection Mediated by Lipofection Protocol]

Polybrene and DMSO can be used to achieve stable transformation of several types of cells by plasmid DNA. The yield of transformants is up to 15-fold greater with Polybrene than with calcium phosphate-DNA coprecipitation. However, there is no difference between the two methods in the efficiency of transformation of cells by high-molecular-weight DNA. - [Read DNA Transfection Using Polybrene Protocol]

The same GFP-tagged actin construct used in cell transfection experiments has been used to produce transgenic mice. Transgenic animals allow the imaging of brain tissue in the intact animal, as acutely cut slices or as organotypic slice cultures. They also serve as a source of cells for imaging neurons at high resolution in dispersed low-density cell culture. In contrast to cells transfected in culture, where the level of actin-GFP expression in neurons varies considerably, transgenic mice... - [Read Imaging Actin in Tissue Slices from Transgenic Mouse Brain Protocol]
