Company:

Promega

Product Name:

FuGENE HD Transfection Reagent

Catalog Number:

E2311

0.5 μg of ER-localized mEmerald-ER3 DNA and 0.75 μl fugene HD were diluted in 200 μl Optimem and incubated for 15 min. The complex was added to the culture medium with HEK293 cells (around 50% confluent) in 35-mm dish and incubated for 8 h. The transfected cells were visualized in fluorescent microscope after 24 h.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

Transfection of plasmid DNA into cells.

Starting Material

Cells, plasmid DNA, optimem.

Tips

Don't incubate DNA-lipid complex for more than 30 min.

Results Summary

The transfected cells showed mEmerald fluorescence, localized in ER.
