Dear reader!
I have big problems with cell-transfection of mammalian cells.
I want to transfect mammalian cells in cell culture with
1) expression vectors
and/or
2) antisense oligos
using liposomes.
I tried two different liposomes:
DOTAP (boehringer) and DAC-30 (Eurogentec).
But my transfection efficiency is extremly low.
I tested it with transfection of a beta-Gal vector and
X-Gal histochemistry and found only 1-5 % stained cells!
The problem is that I have to use
1) human
and
2) neuronal / brain
cell.
And so, I tried TC 32 and U87 cells.
Perhaps you can tell me a special cell line which can better be transfected
and tell me where I can get it?
It would be too kind if you´d send me an answer.
Thank you so much in advance for yous assistance.
Thorsten
I have problems finding appropriate cells for transfection,
