Description
GenJet™ DNA In Vitro Tranfection Reagent for RAW 264.7 Cell is pre-optimized for transfecting RAW 264.7 cells. RAW 264.7 cells are a macrophage-like, Abelson leukemia virus transformed cell line derived from BALB/c mice. RAW 264.7 cell slide is often used for immunocytochemical analysis of protein and protein-protein interaction. Procedures for immunohistochemistry can be directly applied. GenJet™ reagent, 1.0 ml, is sufficient for 300 to 600 transfections in 24 well plates or 50 to 100 transfections in 6 well plates.
