in this handbook is designed
to test both reagents and different transfection conditions in parallel
in order to determine the optimal reagent and transfection conditions for
your cells. The selector kit protocol is designed for 6-well plates. If
you prefer to use a different culture format for your determination, please
contact QIAGEN Technical Services for the appropriate pipetting scheme.
If you prefer to test or use the QIAGEN Transfection Reagents separately,
please contact QIAGEN Technical Services or your local distributor for a
copy of the Effectene Transfection Reagent Handbook or the SuperFect Transfection
Reagent Handbook, or visit us at www.qiagen.com/literature/index.html to
obtain the handbooks as Adobe PDF files. Whatever your transfection
needs, QIAGEN has the answer.
SuperFect Transfection Reagent
SuperFect Transfection Reagent represents a new class of activated-dendrimer
transfection reagent designed for outstanding transfection results (1).
SuperFect Reagent possesses a defined spherical architecture, with branches
radiating from a central core and terminating at charged amino groups. SuperFect
Reagent assembles DNA into compact structures, optimizing the entry of DNA
into the cell. SuperFectDNA complexes possess a net positive charge that
allows them to bind to negatively charged receptors (e.g. sialylated glycoproteins)
on the surface of eukaryotic cells. Once inside the cell, SuperFect Reagent
buffers the lysosome after it has fused with the endosome, leading to pH
inhibition of lysosomal nucleases. This ensures stability of SuperFectDNA
complexes and the transport of intact DNA to the nucleus.
