DNA-In® SY5Y Transfection Reagent

Optimized for SH-SY5Y Cells

SH-SY5Y  is a human derived neuroblastoma cell line commonly used in scientific research. It's a subclone of the original SK-N-SH cell line that was isolated from a bone marrow biopsy a female with neuroblastoma disease. SH-SY5Y cells are routinely used in studies related to neurotoxicity, oxidative stress and neurodegenerative diseases. Shown to express immature neuronal markers these cells  are an established in vitro cell model of dopaminergic (DA) neurons for Parkinson's disease (PD) research. 

DNA-In® SY5Y Transfection Reagent was optimized on the SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cell line to give maximum transfection efficiency with exceptionally low cytotoxicity.

Features

• Optimized for high transfection efficiency in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells.

• One-step process: simply add DNA-In® SY5Y Transfection Reagent to diluted DNA, incubate 10 minutes, and to pre-plated cells
  

• Maximum DNA transfection efficiency  with minimal toxicity - no need to replace medium after transfection

• Fast, simple, easy-to-follow protocol

Outperforms Competitor Reagents

Data below show side-by-side comparisons of SH-SY5Y cells transfected with DNA-In® SY5Y Transfection Reagent  vs competitor reagents:

Figure 1. SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells were plated in 24-well plates to give 60 -70%  confluency the day of transfection. Cells were transfected with a plasmid, containing 500ng Emerald GFP behind an EF1α promoter, and various amounts of either DNA-In™ SY5Y, Lipofectamine®2000 (LF2K), or Lipofectamine®3000 ( LF3K). Above data shows significantly higher transfection efficiency in cells transfected with DNA-In SY5Y vs competitors. Images were captured at 10x magnification 24-hours after transfection.
