Can I apply more than one program (transfection condition) per plate with the 96-well Shuttle® System?

With the 96-well Shuttle® system, it is possible to apply up to 96 different programs (transfection conditions) per 96-well Nucleocuvette® Plate. Therefore, optimization of Nucleofection® Conditions for a particular cell line can be...

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...

Which reporter gene should I choose for my reporter gene experiment?

In general, all reporter genes can be used.For some applications (e.g. reporter gene experiments in various primary cells, experiments with late analysis time point due to starving and /or stimulation) a reporter gene with a longer half life than...

What is the amount of DNA I can use in my Nucleofection® Experiment?

This totally depends on the Nucleofector® system you are working with. While in the 100 µL reaction vessels usually 1 - 5 µg DNA is being used, for the 20 µL reaction vessels (e.g. X Unit, 96-well Unit and HT...

When should I begin looking for the Luciferase signal after Nucleofection®?

The time course of plasmid expression after Nucleofection® might be different from the time course seen with other transfection methods. We recommend looking at different time points and start with the first time point as early as 4 to 6 hours post...

What should I pay attention to when transferring my reporter gene set up from a cell line to a primary cell?

In general the overall expression level differs between different cell types. Don't expect the same level of gene induction when working with primary cells. You might need to change to other DNA amounts or ratios.

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...

What is the function of retinoic acid in the BEGM® media? 

In vivo, bronchial epithelial cells differentiate along an abnormal squamous pathway under conditions of retinoid deficiency. The squamous phenotype is characterized by the induction of specific markers such as keratin 13, and the enzymes...

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®.

What are mycoplasmas?

Mycoplasmas belong to the family Mollicutes, which includes Acholeplasma, Ureaplasma and other species.However the term "Mycoplasma" is most often used as a "cover-all".More than 180 species have been identified of which 20 distinct Mycoplasma...
