Description

Cell to transfect:

Cell name: HCT 116

Cell Synonyms: : CCL-247, colon carcinoma, cancer, NCI60, NCI-60, human colon carcinoma cell

Depositors: MG Brattain

Growth Properties: adherent

Organism: Homo sapiens

Morphology: epithelial

Source: Organ: colon

Disease: colorectal carcinoma

Cellular Products: carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) 1 ng per 10 exp6 cells per 10 days; keratin

Applications: transfection host

Tumorigenic: Yes

Age: adult

Gender: male

Comments: The cells are positive for keratin by immunoperoxidase staining. HCT 116 cells are positive for transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF beta 1) and beta 2 (TGF beta 2) expression. This line has a mutation in codon 13 of the ras protooncogene, and can be used as a positive control for PCR assays of mutation in this codon

HCT 116 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.

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.
  • Unique formulation-maximize transfection performance in HCT 116 cells.
  • Lowest Cellular Toxicity-maintain cell density and reduce experimental biases
  • 0.5 ml is able to transfect about 1000 wells of 24-well plate
  • Deliver single or multiple plasmids
  • 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 T84 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 T84 cells. This test result was confirmed with repeat experiments. The candidate formulas were also tested on HCT 116 cells by transfecting GFP expression plasmid, and got the same high transfection efficiency after flow cytometry analysis. The one that showed the optimal balance of potent & low cytotoxicity (percentage of 7AAD positive cells) among those candidate formulas was later named as HCT 116 Cell Avalanche Transfection Reagent.

For Other Cells

HCT 116 Cell Avalanche® Transfection Reagent (human colon carcinoma cell) can also be used on the following cells with high transfection efficiencies.

T84 Cell

DLD-1 Cell

HT-29 Cell

Caco-2 Cell

LS 174T Cell

LoVo Cell

SW480 Cell

SW620 Cell

293 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.
