RNA-seq of PcTF Transfected U2OS & SK-N-SH cell lines | Main project page Previous entry Next entry |
SummaryIn order to introduce a new gene into the mammalian cancer cells, we need to make the cells competent and present them with a prepared plasmid containing our gene of interest along with a selectable marker. Lipofectamine is a tranfection reagent that produces positively charged liposomes that envelop the plasmids to be introduced to the cells and encourage passage through the negatively charged cell membrane into the cells. Goals
Protocolmammalian cell transfection with liopfectamine Materials
NotesTo make the transfection solution, in a 1.5mL microcentrifuge tube add:
Results/ConclusionsThree wells were treated with DNA, one was treated with water (negative control). Well plate is in the upper incubator, middle shelf.
