SF539 Cell Avalanche® Transfection Reagent is a new class of unique chemical formulations specifically formulated and optimized for transfecting SF539 cells. The proprietary formulation of lipids and polymers ensures the highest possible transfection efficiencies and viabilities for SF539 cells. For details of the developing process of this reagent, please go to: How did EZ Biosystems develop Avalanche® Cell type/cell line specific transfection reagent series?
SF539 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.
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 SF539 cells
Extremely gentle to cells
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
Suitable for Reverse Transfection
Compatible with transfection in any plate format
Developed and manufactured by EZ Biosystems
Data
FIG. 1. High throughput test of transfection efficiency (determined as RLU/mg) on SF539 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 SF539 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 SF539 Cell Avalanche® Transfection Reagent.
FIG. 2. SF539 cells were transfected with GFP vector (pEGFP-N3) by using SF539 Cell Avalanche® Transfection Reagent. The cells were visualized by Nikon Eclipse Fluorescence microscope 24 hours post transfection.
For Other Cells
SF539 Cell Avalanche® Transfection Reagent (human gliosarcoma cell) can also be used on the following cells with high transfection efficiencies.
SF268 Cell
SF295 Cell
U251 Cell
SNB75 Cell
MRC-5 Cell
IMR-90 Cell
COS-7 Cell
BHK-21 Cell
3197-3 Cell
NIH/3T3 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.
