Use or not use DMEM without FBS for stimulating HepG2 with LPS?

We are going to use LPS to stimulate inflammation and changes in lipid metabolism in HepG2. I have found in some papers that full DMEM (with FBS and penicillin/streptomycin) was used, but in...

Veronica Risco-Castillo

in our lab we transfect siRNA to observe effect of (transient) gene expression knockdown and so far it works. By far it's easier and faster than plasmid expressing shRNA but as Krzysztof says it depends of what you want to do with it. Good luck
