Reproducibility of Reverse Transfection. To address reproducibility, we reverse transfected cells in eight wells of each of three different 96 well plates with 10 nM GAPDH siRNA. Two days later, we repeated the procedure with three more 96 well plates. Analysis of GAPDH mRNA 48 hours after transfection revealed that the reverse transfection procedure was indeed highly reproducible (Figure 2).
Figure 2. Reproducibility of Reverse Transfection
Procedure. Silencer GAPDH (Ambion)
and Negative Control siRNA #1 (Ambion) (10 nM) were reverse transfected
in triplicate (Plates 13; 8 wells/plate) into HeLa cells in a 96 well
format. 48 hours post-transfection, cells were harvested and analyzed
by real-time RT-PCR for both target mRNA and 18S rRNA levels (Day 1).
The entire experiment was repeated three days later (Day 3). Remaining
gene expression was calculated as a percentage of target mRNA in cells
transfected with siRNA targeting GAPDH compared to cells transfected with
the negative control s
