Description

Transfection, the introduction of nucleic acid into mammalian cells, is a powerful technique used to study in vivo gene function and regulation.  The Cytofect™ Smooth Muscle Cell Transfection kit is a plasmid DNA delivery system specifically optimized to deliver DNA into a wide variety of smooth muscle cells. This kit contains Cytofect-2 and Media for transfection and culturing cells.  The result has been high transfection efficiency and viability for these traditionally hard-to-transfect cells.

Designed to improve transfection efficiency and cell viability, Cytofect is a plasmid DNA delivery system containing Cytofect-2, Enhancer and Media for transfecting and culturing cells. The Enhancer is an endosomolytic peptide that complexes with DNA and Cytofect-2, then escorts the transfection complex to the nucleus. The results are high transfection efficiency and viability for traditionally hard-to-transfect cells.
