Description
Cells to transfect:
Cell name: Human Prostate Smooth Muscle Cell (PrSMC)
Cell Synonyms: PrSMC, prostate, smooth muscle cells
Prostate cells provide a glandular function in the body by generating fluid which serves several functions in reproduction. Prostate secretions get into the urethra through contraction of the smooth muscle cells (PrSMC). PrSMC can be involved in prostitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
PrSMC can be used for the following applications:
- Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
- Prostitis
- Prostate cancer
- Procreation research
- Drug discovery
- Male prostate physiology
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.
- Unique formulation-maximize transfection performance in PrSMC.
- 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
- Compatible with serum
- 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 human aortic smooth muscle cell (HAOSMC) 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 HAOSMC. This screening result was confirmed with repeat experiments. The candidate formulas were also tested in human prostate smooth muscle 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 Human Prostate Smooth Muscle Cell Avalanche Transfection Reagent.
For Other Cells
Human Prostate Smooth Muscle Cell (PrSMC) Avalanche® Transfection Reagent can also be used on the following cells with high transfection efficiencies.
786-O Cell
Caki-1 Cell
MDCK Cell
Vero 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.
