EKVX Cell Avalanche® Transfection Reagent

 
Description

Cells to transfect:

Cell Line Nme: EKVX

Cell Synonyms: NCI60, NCI-60

Tissue Origin: Lung Carcinoma; Adenocarcinoma; NS; NS

The cell line EKVX was established following passage of the original tumor cells through nude mice, providing a possible source of the X-MLV found in the EKVX cells.

EKVX 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.

Supplier: Developmental Therapeutics Program, National Cancer Institute,Frederick,MD 21701

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 EKVX cells
• Highest efficiency to ensure experimental success
• Lowest Cellular Toxicity-maintain cell density and reduce experimental biases
• 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
• Active in serum-containing medium
• Suitable for Reverse Transfection
• Compatible with transfection in any plate format
• 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 EKVX 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 EKVX 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 EKVX Cell Avalanche® Transfection Reagent.

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.
