u2os Protocols

Category: Transfection Protocols: Calcium Phosphate Transfection Protocols

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]

Category: Reporter Gene Assays: GFP Assay Protocols

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]
