Back to Eccles Lab > DGG Protocols

Antisense Transfection:

• For one 24-well:
  • Combine 36μL serum-free media and 4μL Lipofectin in Eppendorf.
  • Incubate for 30 minutes at room temperature.
  • Combine 30μL serum-free media and 10μL 20μM sense or antisense oligo in another Eppendorf.
  • Incubate for 5 - 10 minutes at room temperature.
  • Add Lipofectin dilution to sense/antisense dilution.
  • Incubate for 15 minutes at room temperature.
  • Add 120μL serum-free media.
  • Remove media from well and add 200μL of the above mixture to each well.
  • After 4 hours, add serum to give a final concentration of 10% per well.
  • Culture for the required amount of time.

• For a 96-well, divide the above volumes by 5, for a 6-well, multiply the above volumes by 5.
