MEF Cell Line:
The MEF cell line was derived from murine (Mus musculus) embryonic fibroblast cells and can synthesize collagen and other extracellular matrix proteins. The MEF cell line is frequently used as feeder cells for human embryonic stem cell research and is a suitable host for studies related to mammalian embryonic tissue. MEF cells could be used as a transfection host in cell and molecular biology research. Many MEF cell lines exist, each of which exhibits slightly different characteristics. When cultured in vitro, the MEF cell line shows a spindle shape that confirms its fibroblastic nature. Several strategies such as virus infection and repeated transmission are used to immortalize MEF cells and let them grow indefinitely. Mouse Embryonic Fibroblasts (MEF) are useful models for the study of mammalian cells in the field of molecular biology.
Primary cell cultures are used in biological and gene therapy studies and serve as valuable model systems that may more accurately represent the biology of normal cells. Many cultured cell lines, as well as the majority of primary cell cultures, are able to be transfected with exogenous nucleic acids when appropriate transfection approaches are employed. Since the majority of transfection methods causes significant toxicity in primary cell cultures, optimizing this procedure, specifically the protocol and reagents to be utilized, is essential for developing an effective transfection strategies for a given cell type. ALTOGEN kits for primary cells and sensitive cell lines have been designed to have significantly lower cytotoxicity than other alternatives. Altogen Biosystems offers nanoparticle-based transfection reagent kits that can be optimized based on specific project requirements.
Data:
Figure 1. GAPD mRNA levels were quantified using real-time RT-PCR in the MEF cells transfected with siRNAs targeting GAPD or non-silencing siRNA. Forty-eight hours post-transfection, the cells were harvested and analyzed by real-time RT-PCR for GAPD mRNA expression levels. Data were normalized against the 18S rRNA signal. Control samples were either mock-transfected or untreated. Values are normalized to untreated sample. Data are means ± SD (n=5).
Figure 2. Protein expression of GAPDH in MEF cells. DNA plasmid expressing GAPDH or siRNA targeting GAPDH were transfected into MEF cells following Altogen Biosystems transfection protocol. At 72 hours post-transfection the cells were analyzed by Western Blot for protein expression levels (normalized by total protein, 10 µg of total protein loaded per each well). Untreated cells used as a negative control.

内毒素是革兰氏阴性菌细胞壁(cellwall)上的特有成分,主要是脂多糖中的类脂A,在细菌被裂解时被释放出来,由于其化学结构和特性,在质粒的纯化过程中很容易混入质粒DNA一同提取出来。内毒素的存在会严重的影响质粒转染细胞的效率,此外会激活造血细胞(如B细胞、巨噬细胞等)的非特异免疫反应,造成实验的假阳性,所以转染级质粒的提取纯化必须去除内毒素。

使用方法:
1、 血清:操作过程中避免任何细胞刺激。使用不含热原和内毒素的试管。收集血液后,1000×g离心10分钟将血红细胞迅速小心地分离。
2、 血浆:EDTA、柠檬酸盐、肝素血浆可用于检测。1000×g离心30分钟去除颗粒。
3、 细胞上清液:1000×g离心10分钟去除颗粒和聚合物。
4、 组织匀浆:将组织加入适量生理盐水捣碎。1000×g离心10分钟,取上清液。
5、 保存:如果样品不立即使用,应将其分成小部分-70℃保存,避免反复冷冻。尽可能的不要使用溶血或高血脂血。如果血清中大量颗粒,检测前先离心或过滤。不要在37℃或更高的温度加热解冻。应在室温下解冻并确保样品均匀地充分解冻。
DXY721认为:
悬浮细胞和贴壁细胞在转染过程中差别不大,主要差别在于转染后的筛选,当然如果你做的是瞬时转染就不存在筛选的问题了。
其实转染的过程很简单,问题是能不能转的进去的,转染率能有多少,转进去是否可以稳定表达目的蛋白等等。
我们也是用脂质体做悬浮细胞的转染,说明书上都有具体的操作过程,将脂质体和目的基因按比例混合,然后加到细胞悬液里就OK了,说的简单,实际上还是有一些细节要注意的,比如脂质体和目的基因混合的比例,转染的细胞数,细胞的代数,细胞的状态,有的还要求在转染的前一天传代一次,不过不要怕,这些在脂质体说明书上都有明确的说明,按照说明书做就可以了。
jinghuanlv认为:
悬浮细胞和贴壁细胞转染还是有很大不同的。
脂质体转染的原理基于电荷吸引原理,先形成脂质体-DNA复合物,散布在细胞周围,然后通过细胞的内吞作用,将目的基因导入细胞内,而脂质体复合物与贴壁细胞的接触机会比悬浮细胞高出很多倍,所以,脂质体转染时悬浮细胞的转染效率要明显低于贴壁细胞。
我们实验室转染悬浮细胞是用的电穿孔法,目前为止,悬浮细胞转染的最好方法还是电转,我们实验室用的电转仪是Bio-Rad的,使用条件是电压250V,电容975uF,效果不错,不妨一用。
