Prime-Fect Primary Cell Transfection Reagent

Prime-Fect has been crafted as a highly effective reagent for primary cell transfection plasmid DNA. It is capable of undergoing multivalent interactions with polynucleotides and encapsulating co-incubated polynucleotides into 100-200 nm particles with a net positive charge. The complexation between the polynucleotides and the Prime-Fect occurs in aqueous buffers, obviating the need for organic solvents during preparation. As a non-integrating carrier, the genetic make-up of host cells is not altered after treatment with the transfection reagent. Prime-Fect has also been tested and found effective in different types of attachment dependent cell lines for siRNA delivery. As with all transfection reagents, formulations of Prime-Fect with nucleic acid may need to be optimized for specific cell types and transfection conditions.
