siRNA Transfection
=Resuspending siRNA’s:
- Add 100µL sterile MQ per 5nmol powdered siRNA.
- Gives a final concentration of 50µM siRNA in the tube.
- Vortex to ensure all the siRNA is completely dissolved.
- Store at -20°C.
=siRNA Transfection:
- For one 24-well.
- 1µL Lipofectamine 2000 + 49µL serum free OptiMEM.
- Incubate for 5 minutes.
- 1µL 50µM siRNA + 49µL serum free OptiMEM.
- Add diluted siRNA to the Lipofectamine.
- Incubate for 25 minutes.
- Add 400µL serum free OpitMEM.
- 500µL per well.
- Final concentration of siRNA per 24-well is 0.1µM.
- After 4 hours add 50µL FCS to give a final concentration of 10% per well.
- Culture for required length of time.
