C6 Cell Avalanche® Transfection Reagent (rat brain glioma cell)

 
Description

Cell to transfect:

Designations: C6

Cell Synonyms: CCL-107, rat brain glioma cell

Depositors: G Sato

Growth Properties: adherent

Organism: Rattus norvegicus deposited as Rattus sp.

Morphology: fibroblast

Source: brain

Disease: glioma

Cell Type: glial cell;

Cellular Products: S-100 protein; produce glyceryl phosphate dehydrogenase in response to glucocorticoids; somatotrophin

Applications: transfection host

Receptors: glucocorticoid

Virus Resistance: poliovirus 3

Comments: The glial cell strain, C6, was cloned from a rat glial tumor induced by N-nitrosomethylurea by Benda et al. S-100 production increases ten fold as cells grow from low density to confluency.

Features of The Transfection Reagent:

• 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 C6 Cells
• Highest efficiency to ensure experimental success
• Extremely gentle to cells
• 0.5 ml is able to transfect about 1000 wells of 24-well plate
• Suitable for Reverse Transfection
• Compatible with transfection in any plate formats
• Reproducible: due to highly controlled chemical synthesis of each of the ingredients, the reagent forms uniformly sized complex particles with nucleic acids. With optimized protocol, our reagent will ensure the reproducible highest transfection results.
• Economical: High efficiency means less amount of nucleic acid & reagent is needed
• Developed and manufactured by EZ Biosystems

Data

FIG. 1. High throughput test of transfection efficiency (determined as RLU/mg) on C6 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 C6 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 C6 Cell Avalanche Transfection Reagent.

FIG. 2. C6 cells were transfected with GFP vector (pEGFP-N3) by using C6 Avalanche® Transfection Reagent. The cells were visualized by Nikon Eclipse Fluorescence microscope 24 hours post transfection.

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.
