MCF7 Cell Avalanche® Transfection Reagent

MCF7 Cell Avalanche® Transfection Reagent is a new, proprietary solution specifically designed for transfection on MCF7 cells. The proprietary formulation of lipids and polymers ensures the highest possible transfection efficiencies and viabilities for MCF7 cells. No other transfection reagents can match the efficiency, convenience, and gentleness of MCF7 Cell Avalanche® Transfection Reagent for transfection on MCF7 cells.

Description

Cells to transfect:

Cell Line Name: MCF7 (ATCC® HTB-22®)

Cell Synonyms: ATCC® HTB-22®, NCI60, NCI-60

Organism: Homo sapiens, human

Tissue: mammary gland; breast: pleural effusion

Cell Type: epithelial

Morphology: epithelial

Culture Properties: adherent

Disease: adenocarcinoma

Age: 69 years adult

Gender : female

Ethnicity: Caucasian

Applications: These cells are suitable as a transfection host.

estrogen receptor, expressed

Genes Expressed: insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBP) BP-2; BP-4; BP-5,Blood Type O; Rh+

Comments: The MCF7 line retains several characteristics of differentiated mammary epithelium including ability to process estradiol via cytoplasmic estrogen receptors and the capability of forming domes. The cells express the WNT7B oncogene.

MCF7 is one of the cell lines of the NCI-60 panel which represents different cancer types and has been widely utilized for drug screening and molecular target identification.

Transfection reagent features:

  • Broad spectrum for the transfection of large plasmid, mRNA, siRNA, and/or other type of nucleic acids, which is best for co-transfection of different type and/or size of nucleic acids.
  • Specifically optimized to deliver nucleic acids into MCF7 cells
  • Highest efficiency to ensure experimental success
  • Extremely gentle to cells
  • Much less reagent needed for each transfection: 0.5 ml is able to transfect about 1000 wells of 24-well plate
  • Deliver single or multiple plasmids
  • Synthesized from 100% animal origin-free components, making it easy to validate the absence of zoonotic diseases, such as BSE or viruses, in research experiments or cells lines
  • Compatible with serum
  • Suitable for Reverse Transfection
  • Compatible with transfection in any plate format
  • Developed and manufactured by EZ Biosystems

Data

FIG. 1. High throughput test of transfection efficiency (determined as RLU/mg) on MCF7 cells after transfection of luciferase reporter gene by using our 172 proprietary transfection formulas and several most popular commercial transfection reagents. The yellow box showed the results of 4 commercial transfection reagents. The red lines marked our candidate formulas with the highest transfection efficiency for MCF7 cells. This test result was confirmed with repeat experiments. The one that showed the optimal balance of potent & low cytotoxicity among those candidate formulas after flow cytometry analysis on the percentage of 7AAD positive cells was later named as this MCF7 Cell Avalanche® Transfection Reagent.

FIG. 2. MCF7 cells were transfected with GFP vector (pEGFP-N3) by using MCF7 Cell Avalanche® Transfection Reagent. The cells were visualized by Nikon Eclipse Fluorescence microscope 48 hours post transfection.

For Other Cells

MCF7 Cell Avalanche® Transfection Reagent (human breast carcinoma cell) can also be used on the following cells with high transfection efficiencies.

BT-20 Cell

HCC1937 Cell

Hs-578-T Cell

T47D cell

MDA-MB-468 Cell

SK-BR-3 Cell

MDA-MB-231 Cell

293 Cell

293T/17 Cell

Recommended protocols for these cells will be provided with the reagent. The protocols usually provide satisfactory transfection efficiency with invisible cytotoxicity. However, optimization may be needed for certain type of cells. Optimizations may include: the amount of DNA and this transfection reagent; cell density; transfection reagent/DNA ratio, or incubation time for the mixture of transfection reagent/DNA etc. For best transfection result, we recommend using the respective cell type/cell line specific Avalanche transfection reagents. Those reagents have been optimized on both recipes and protocols, and have been proved to have the best transfection results for the respective cell lines or primary cells. You can easily find the respective Avalanche transfection reagents specific for your cells by using the filters of our product list.
