PEI Transfection

PEI Transfection

Transfection:

1. Split 293T cells one day before transfection in DMEM/10% FBS medium:
   1. 6 well dish: 0.5x10⁶ cells
   2. 10cm dish: 4.0x10⁶ cells
   3. 15cm dish: 9.0x10⁶ cells

1. Prior to transfection bring all reagents to room temperature.

1. In a sterile tube dilute total plasmid DNA (ug) in serum-free DMEM w/o phenol red (volume of media is 10% of final volume in culture vessel). Use transgene: viral packaging (psPAX2):viral envelope (pMD2G) constructs at 4:2:1 DNA ratio

1. 6 well dish: 200ul + 3 ug of total DNA
2. 10cm dish: 1mL + 7-8 ug of total DNA
3. 15cm dish: 2mL +  11-12 ug of total DNA

1. Add PEI (1ug/uL) to the diluted DNA. Mix immediay by vortexing or pipeting. The volume of PEI used is based on a 3:1 ratio of PEI (ug):total DNA (ug).

1. 6 well dish: 9ul of PEI(1ug/ul) = 9ug
2. 10cm dish: 21ul of PEI (1ug/ul) = 21ug
3. 15cm dish: 33ul of PEI(1ug/ul) = 33ug

1. Incubate 15 minutes at RT
2. Add DNA/PEI mixture to cells

1. Harvest transfected cells and/or viral supernatant at 48 hours post-transfection

Reagents:

PEI (1ug/ul) – PEI is Polyethylenimine 25kD linear from Polysciences (cat# 23966-2). To make a stock solution:

• Dissolve PEI in endotoxin-free dH₂O that has been heated to ~80°C.
• Let cool to room temperature.
• Neutralize to pH 7.0, filter sterilize (0.22um), aliquot and store at -20°C; a working stock can be kept at 4°C.
