GenMute™ siRNA Transfection Reagent for Primary Macrophages

- Overview
  - GenMute™ siRNA Transfection Reagent for PMG is pre-optimized for transfecting siRNA to primary macrophages. Macrophages are white blood cells within tissues, produced by the differentiation of monocytes. Monocytes and macrophages are phagocytes, acting in both non-specific defense (innate immunity) as well as to help initiate specific defense mechanisms (adaptive immunity) of vertebrate animals. Their role is to phagocytose (engulf and then digest) cellular debris and pathogens either as stationary or as mobile cells, and to stimulate lymphocytes and other immune cells to respond to the pathogen. They can be identified by specific expression of a number of proteins including CD14, CD11b, F4/80 (mice)/EMR1 (human), Lysozyme M, MAC-1/MAC-3 and CD68 by flow cytometry or immunohistochemical staining.

    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!
