    The Experiment followed this protocol: 96-well plate with HeLa cells seeded at a density of 10,000 the day before the experiment. 0.5 µg DNA per well in all cases. All transfections were carried out overnight. In the morning, the media were removed and the cells supplemented with 250 µl of fresh complete medium. The plasmid DNA encodes for the EGFP, the expression of the gene is under the control of the CMV promoter. The photos were taken 24 h post-transfection.
    Experiment performed by Iratxe Puebla, Imperial College London

    1 5 µl reagent (1mg/ml) used, complex prepared according to manufacturer's instructions, and brought to 125 µl using complete DMEM. Then added to cells containing 125 µl complete DMEM (growth medium).

    2,3 1.25 µg reagent used, complex prepared in DMEM to a total volume of 25 µl. Final volume per well was 250 µl, medium
    DMEM.

    5 Trojene operating protocol 2.
    6Trojene operating protocol 3.

    The experiment was carried out in a 48 well plate with 0.5 µg of DNA per well in all cases (cell line and incubation time specified on the graph). The plasmid encodes for beta-galactosidase under CMV promotor. The cells were assayed for gene expression 24h post-transfection using a standard chemio-luminescent assay.


    We invite you to test this exciting, new reagent in your laboratory.
    The experiment was carried out on 3T3 cells in a 48 well plate with 0.25 µg of DNA per well in all cases. The plasmid encodes for luciferase under CMV promotor. The cells were assayed for gene expression 24h post-transfection using a standard luminescent assay.

    Trojene and Product "E" were transfected in Medium containing 10% serum.
    Product "L" was transfected in Optimem.
