Is it typical for the fluorescence observed from my tagged protein to appear less than the empty fluorescent vector?

Yes, this is a routine observation.Fluorescent fusion proteins can appear less bright than the fluorescent protein itself. This may be due to differences in protein folding of the fused protein.

In my Nucleofection® Experiment, how critical is the time point for analysis post transfection?

It is very critical. Waiting too long for analysis post transfection can lead to loss of peak expression. The optimal time for analysis is related to two factors: stability of protein being expressed and transfection method. For a short-lived protein...

In my Nucleofection Experiment I see lower expression with my IRES construct in comparison with you pmax-GFP control. Do you have any information about the different expression profiles?

The original attenuation of the IRES sequence was performed to allow for a greater difference between the expression levels of the upstream gene of interest and the downstream reporter gene. If the downstream reporter gene, the product of less than...

I want to stimulate human primary T-cells with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28. Do you have a detailed protocol for this?

Yes, the detailed protocol is part of our 4D-Nucleofector® Protocol for stimulated Human T Cells.For optimal stimulation of the transfected cells we recommend coating 96-wells plates for stimulation [Nunc Immuno™ Plate C96 Maxi Sorp™, Cat. No. 430...

Do we sell the Nucleofector® Solution (or any other component of the Nucleofector® Kit) separately?

We don't sell the individual components of the kits separately because our product line is a kit concept line to ensure the use of certified products with quality controlled lot numbers that guarantee optimal results.

How to maximize cell viability in a Nucleofection® experiment?

Pay careful attention to centrifugation speeds prior to Nucleofection®; be sure not to centrifuge the cells at higher than 90xg. Any trypsinization should use the minimal amount of reagent and time necessary in order to minimize stress to the cells,...

What are the best time points for analysis of my siRNA experiments?

As the stability and half-life of various mRNAs and their protein products varies, it is important to empirically determine the best time points for assessing target knockdown. For example, it has been documented that in mammalian cells, mRNA...

Can I co-transfect oligonucleotides and plasmids with the Nucleofector® Technology?

Yes. As the same protocol applies for any nucleic acid substrate (vectors or oligonucleotides) you can easily perform co-transfections either for transfection control or rescue experiments.

Do you have data about the in vivo implantation of hepatocytes transfected by Nucleofection? For how long could protein expression be detected?

There is a publication reporting on the successful reinjection of modified hepatocytes into mice.Chen et al. were able to monitor the expression over several days. This group worked with a preliminary test solution for mouse hepatocyte as the...

Are rat and mouse hepatocytes transfected by Nucleofection® still functional?

Yes, transfected mouse hepatocytes show albumin synthesis rates comparable to those of untransfected cells. Moreover the morphology and polarization of rat hepatocytes is not affected by Nucleofection®.
