LNCaP Cell Avalanche® Transfection Reagent

Transfection of cells that form loosely attached clusters, such as LNCaP cells, has always been challenging, both technically and financially. The most common systems currently used for relatively efficient molecular delivery to these cells are expensive electroporation instruments. However, electroporation usually leads to cell death, primarily when the electrical fields cause permanent permeabilization of the membrane and the consequent loss of cell homeostasis, in a process known as irreversible electroporation.

LNCaP Cell Avalanche® Transfection Reagent is a new class of unique chemical formulations specifically formulated and optimized for transfecting LNCaP cells. The proprietary formulation of lipids and polymers ensures the highest possible transfection efficiencies and viabilities for LNCaP cells.

Description

Cell to transfect:

Designations: LNCaP

Cell Synonyms: LNCaP Clone FGC, CRL-1740, human prostate carcinoma cell

Organism: Homo sapiens (human)

Tissue: prostate carcinoma; metastatic site: left supraclavicular lymph node

Age: 50 years

Gender: male

Ethnicity: caucasian

Morphology: epithelial

Growth Properties: clusters; lightly adherent

Doubling time: about 34 hours

Tumorigenic: yes, in nude mice

Products: human prostatic acid phosphatase; prostate specific antigen (PSA)

Receptors expressed: androgen; estrogen

Depositors: J.S. Horoszewicz

This line was isolated in 1977 by Horoszewicz et al from a needle aspiration biopsy of the left supraclavicular lymph node of a 50-year-old Caucasian male with confirmed diagnosis of metastatic prostate carcinoma. These cells are responsive to 5-alpha-dihydrotestosterone (growth modulation and acid phosphatase production).

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 LNCaP cells
  • Highest efficiency to ensure experimental success
  • 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 serum
  • Suitable for Reverse Transfection
  • Compatible with transfection in any plate formats
  • Developed and manufactured by EZ Biosystems

Data

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

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

For Other Cells

LNCaP Cell Avalanche® Transfection Reagent (human prostate carcinoma cell) 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.
