Hi,
Please does anyone have any successful experience with transfecting HT29 or HCT116 cells with DNA plasmid using Lipofectamine?
I would appreciate any tips or advice.
Regards.
Abraham.
Try using these kits, they're optimized for both cell lines and have been used in siRNA delivery with around 70% transfection efficiency.
HCT116: https://altogen.com/product/hct-116-transfection-reagent-colon-carcinoma/
HT29: https://altogen.com/product/ht-29-transfection-reagent-colorectal-adenocarcinoma/
RNAiMAX works good for both.
Hi Andrey,
Isn't the RNAiMax for RNA transfection? That's what it says on the thermofisher website
For HT29 cells, try using X-tremeGENE HP DNA Transfection reagent from ROCHE. It works really well!
DreamFect Gold works also really for these cells, you can check out this publication

if you want a sample you can ask us at [email protected]
Good Luck

Hi, I was wondering, would it be reliable to compare two cell lines using MTT if I plate them at different densities? For instance, cell line 1 at 1000 cells per well (because it grows faster),...
