Hi everyone,
I am trying to transfect murine CD4+ T cells in vitro, using Lipofectamine RNAi/MAX however, even when trying troubleshoot, the positive FITC labelled control shows just about 3% efficacy. I was trying you double the amount of Lipofectamine and the amount of siRNA was 250nM, I transfected twice during 2 consecutive days, but without any effect. The cells appear vital, so no negative effect of higher lipofectamine levels. Any ideas whether T cells can be transfected using chemical reagents? Any advice highly appreciated. Thank you
