GenJet™ DNA In Vitro Tranfection Reagent for U2OS cells is pre-optimized for transfecting U2OS cells. The U2OS cell line, originally known as the 2T line, was cultivated from the bone tissue of a fifteen-year-old human female suffering from osteosarcoma. Established in 1964, the original cells were taken from a moderately differentiated sarcoma of the tibia. U2 OS cells exhibit epithelial adherent morphology and viruses were not detected in the line during co-cultivation with WI-38 cells or in CF tests against SV40, RSV, or adenoviruses. Cells are positive for insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and insulin-like growth factor II (IGF II) receptors and express a number of antigens, including blood type A, Rh+, HLA A2, Aw30, B12, Bw35, and B40(+/-).
Refer to the following optimal transfection conditions for maximal transfection efficiency on U2 OS cells. GenJet™ reagent, 1.0 ml, is sufficient for 300 to 600 transfections in 24 well plates or 150 to 300 transfections in 6 well plates.

A Picture Showing Transfection Efficiency of GenJet™ Reagent on U2 OS Cells
GenJet™ reagent is optimized for U2OS. U2OS cells were grown per ATCC recommended culture medium and transfected with pEGFP-N3 by GenJet™. The efficiency was checked 48 hours post transfection
