Lentifectin™ Transfection Reagent
Lentifectin™ Transfection Reagent
| CAT.NO | UNIT |
|---|---|
| G074 | 1.0 ml |
| Description | Lentifectin™ is a transfection reagent specially formulated with multiple cationic polymers for the production of Lentiviral vectors in vitro. It is shown that Lentiviruses produced with Lentifectin™consistently have higher titers than those produced with Calcium-phosphate transfection or with other types of lipid transfection reagents |
|---|---|
| SKU | G074 |
| Applications | For production of high titer recombinant lentivirus plasmid in 293T cells. |
| Transfection Reagents Type | DNA Molecule |
| Caution | This product is distributed for laboratory research only. Caution: Not for diagnostic use . |
| Unit quantity | 1.0 ml |
| Storage Condition | Store at 4ºC. Do not freeze. |
Does freeze-thaw affect the performance of the transfection reagent?
Freeze-thaw does damage the transfection reagent slightly, at an approximate 5% loss. If possible, test the agent with a GFP control first.
Does the Lentifectin Transfection Reagent include packaging plasmids in addition to the cationic polymers?
No. The packaging plasmids are available separately. http://www.abmgood.com/Lentivirus-Packaging-Systems.html
Can this be used for both DNA and RNA transfection purposes?
Lentifectin will work for both DNA and RNA transfection. However we highly recommend using RNAfectin (Cat# G073) for RNA transfection in order to achieve optimal results.
Why do you need to add serum-free medium to the transfection complex as stated in step 4 of the protocol?
Transfection protocols often require serum-free conditions for optimal performance because serum can interfere with the transfection reagent. If you are looking for a reagent that is serum-compatible (in the presence of serum), you may use our DNAfectin Plus (Cat 2500) instead of Cat# G074.
What happens if solutions A and B are not incubated individually and instead mixed together right away?
The plasmids will still be packaged but the transduction efficiency may be affected.
The protocol provided in your datasheet also involves packaging. Which steps should I follow if I am interested in transfection only?
The protocol is provided so as to facilitate customers should you also wish to perform a packaging step. The Lentifectin™ Transfection Protocol may certainly be used as a guideline for transient transfection of your cell line with the plasmid of interest. We will specify the modifications that need to be made to this protocol, if packaging into lentivirus is not desired: For transfection of a plasmid into your cell line of interest, Steps 1 and 3a of our Lentifectin™ Transfection Protocol will be slightly different: Step 1: Instead of 293T cells, you will use your target cells Step 3a: Solution A will only include your expression vector, without any Packaging Mix, in serum-free, antibiotic-free medium.
