Specific technique considerations
Co-transfections
First, verify that both
of your DNA constructs work in your cell line. Also, determine the ratio of DNA
to FuGENE 6 Reagent (for example, 1 g of DNA and 3 l FuGENE 6 Reagent) that
provides good expression levels. Then, perform the transfection, ensuring the
DNA / FuGENE 6 Reagent ratio takes into account the total amount of DNA from the
two constructs. For example, in the above experiment the co-transfection of 1 g
each of two carefully measured DNA constructs would require 6 l of FuGENE 6
Transfection Reagent (2 g DNA to 6 l of FuGENE 6 Transfection Reagent). FuGENE
6 Transfection Reagent is very gentle, so there will not be a cytotoxic effect
when an excess of FuGENE 6 Transfection Reagent is used.
Using spinner flasksThe special components (e.g., Pluronic F-68) that are added to the spinner flask
media for cell protection can interfere with transfection. To overcome this
problem:
At the time of subculturing, resuspend the cells in medium that does not
contain protective reagents, then perform the transfection in a flask or Petri
dish for one hour as suggested in the package insert. For example, for 1 g DNA,
use 3 l FuGENE 6 Reagent for each 100,000-200,000 cells. The cell concentration
may be several times the concentration you will use for seeding. After allowing
an hour for transfection, dilute into your normal suspension medium, then place
it into the spinner flask.
Producing stable transfectants
Do not
use a large number of plates, or plate fewer cells per plate. FuGENE 6 Reagent
is so gentle and efficient that you will obta
