Background:
Because transfecting a large number of plasmids (~8) into HEK293 cells can drastically increase cytotoxicity and lower transfection efficiency, we are optimizing our transfections before we start characterizing the B-Cell Receptor. We plan on evaluating suspended vs. adherent transfection and varying total mass of DNA transfected. Because we will be transfecting a large protein complex (BCR) into our cells we want to use many different plasmids interacting to test our transfection efficiency.
Approach:
We will be testing in duplicate 10, 25, 50,100, 250, 500, and 1000ng of DNA with lipo 3K suspended vs non suspended transfection to determine optimal transfection conditions for our cells.
