Description

GenJet™ DNA In Vitro Tranfection Reagent for SHEP is pre-optimized for transfecting SHEP cells. This human neuroblastoma cell line was cloned from a single primary tumor. Unlike other neuroblastoma cell, SHEP cells does not produce IGF-II, expresses five-fold fewer IGF-IRs than SH-SY5Y and dies in serum-free media or following exposure to metabolic stressors. 

Refer to the following optimal transfection conditions for maximal transfection efficiency on SHEP
 cells. GenJet™ reagent, 1.0 ml, is sufficient for 300 to 600 transfections in 24 well plates or 50 to 100 transfections in 6 well plates.

Summary of Optimal Transfection Conditions:
Confluence on the day of transfection
Cell culture conditions
GenJet™ (µl) : DNA (µg) Ratio
Diluent for DNA and Transfection Reagent

Incubation Time to Form GenJet™/DNA Complex
Presence of Serum/Antibiotics during Transfection
Change Medium After Transfection
