• Efficient Transfection of Neuroblastoma Cell Lines Using FuGENE® HD Transfection Reagent
  

  Efficient transfection of cells is a prerequisite for genetic manipulation. However, many cell lines remain hard to transfect with established protocols, hampering consecutive analysis. Here, we compare three different methods (FuGENE® HD Transfection Reagent, transfection reagent L, and calcium phosphate) for the transfection of neuroblastoma cell lines. We show that FuGENE® HD Transfection Reagent is able to transfect all of these cell lines with high efficiency for further analysis. more
