GenMute™ siRNA Transfection Reagent for C2C12 Cell

- Overview
  - GenMute™ siRNA Transfection Reagent for C2C12 Cell is pre-optimized for transfecting siRNA to C2C12 cells. C2C12 cells were originally obtained by Yaffe and Saxel (1977) through selective serial passage of myoblasts cultured from the thigh muscle of C3H mice 70 h after a crush injury. These cells were shown to be capable of differentiation. C2C12 cells are a useful model to study the differentiation of non-muscle cells to skeletal muscle cells (e.g myosin phosphorylation mechanisms) and express muscle proteins and the androhen receptor (AR).

    Note
    
    PepMute™, GenMute™ and PepMute™ Plus siRNA transfection reagents are found to be sometimes toxic ONLY with DMEM base cell culture medium. Culturing your cells with other cell media (supplemented with 10% FBS and antibiotics) will basically eliminate the transfection toxicity. If you find toxicity and high cell death, it may be because DMEM base medium supplemented with 10% FBS and antibiotics was used to culture the cells. To remove the transfection toxicity, DMEM can be replaced with DMEM/F12 or RPMI 1640 as base medium. Although we haven't figured out why, it does minimize toxicity. Please try it!
