Product Overview

Novel fluorinated cationic lipids form the basis of LipoJet™ Transfection Kit, which is built on SignaGen's innovative, proprietary lipid-conjugation technology. SignaGen presents the kit as the most powerful gene delivery tool available and at the same time a very gentle one, holding significant advantages over competing lipid transfection reagents on the market, and as the more cost-effective option next to leading products there, always giving higher transfection efficiency with less cytotoxicity. Its applications span plasmid DNA, siRNA, or the two together, across most mammalian cell types.

II) – GFP silencing by DNA/siRNA co-transfection in HeLa cellsLipoJet™ In Vitro Transfection Kit (Ver. II) – GFP silencing by DNA/siRNA co-transfection in SaoS-2 cells
Exceptional gene silencing of LipoJet™ reagent during DNA/siRNA co-transfection on mammalian cells. Transfection of GFP cDNA (left panel, 0.25 µg per well of 24-well plate) and co-transfection of GFP cDNA ( 0.25 µg per well of 24-well plate) and GFP targeted siRNA (final 10 nM, right panel) with LipoJet™ reagent leads to exceptional gene silencing on HEK293 (upper panel), Hela (middle panel) and SaoS-2 (lower panel) cells respectively. The cells were visualized by a Nikon Eclipse Fluorescence microscope 48 hours post-transfection.
LipoJet™ In Vitro Transfection Kit (Ver. II) – mCherry DNA and FITC-siRNA co-transfection in HUVEC
Exceptional DNA/siRNA co-transfection efficiency on HUVEC. Co-transfection of mCherry cDNA (0.10 µg per well of 24-well plate) and FITC-conjugated siRNA (final 30 nM per well of 24-well plate) to HUVEC with LipoJet™ reagent gave rise to 60% mCherry+ (phase contrast overlapped with mCherry imaging, left panel) and nearly 100% FITC-siRNA+ (phase contrast overlapped with FITC imaging, right panel) HUVEC 24 hours after transfection. The pictures were given by Dr. Pan Kong of USC as a courtesy.
LipoJet™ In Vitro Transfection Kit (Ver. II) – KIF11 (EG5) siRNA knockdown causing cell rounding in HEK293 cellsLipoJet™ In Vitro Transfection Kit (Ver. II) – KIF11 (EG5) siRNA knockdown causing cell rounding in HeLa cells
Excellent silencing of endogenously expressed KIF11 (also known as EG5) in HEK293 (upper panel) and HeLa (lower panel) cells with LipoJet™ reagent at 10 nM EG5 siRNA. KIF11 (also known as EG5) encodes a motor protein that belongs to the kinesin-like protein family involved in chromosome positioning and bipolar spindle formation during cell mitosis. A reduction in KIF11 levels causes mitotic arrest. LipoJet™ reagent effectively delivers EG5 siRNA (final 10 nM) to HEK293 and HeLa cells, leading to more than 80% of “round-up” phenotype of HEK293 and HeLa cells 24h post-transfection over negative control (final 10 nM with sham EG5 siRNA). The phenotype of “rounded-up” HEK293 and HeLa cells was visualized 24h post-transfection with a Nikon microscope.
LipoJet™ In Vitro Transfection Kit (Ver. II) – GFP transfection in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), DIC and fluorescence
An image showing the exceptional transfection efficiency of LipoJet™ Transfection Kit on Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). The hESCs grown in E8 medium on Geltrexvs (left panel, DIC imaging) were transfected with pEF1α-GFP. The GFP expression (right panel) was visualized by Nikon Eclipse Fluorescence microscope 24 hours post-transfection. The above pictures were provided by Dr. Marina Pryzhkova of Johns Hopkins University as a courtesy
