Cell Line Information:Cell Line Name: A-498 (ATCC® HTB-44™)Organism: Homo sapiens, human Tissue: kidney Morphology: epithelial Culture Properties: adherent Biosafety Level: 1 Disease: carcinoma Age: 52 years Gender: female Contributor: S. AaronsonSupplier: Developmental Therapeutics Program.National Cancer Institute,Frederick,MD 21701A-498 is one of the cell lines of the NCI-60 panel which represents different cancer types and has been widely utilized for drug screening and molecular target identification.The Transfection Reagent:A-498 Cell Avalanche® Transfection Reagent is a new class of unique chemical formulations specifically formulated and optimized for transfecting A-498 cells. The proprietary formulation of lipids and polymers ensures the highest possible transfection efficiencies and viabilities for A-498 cells. For details of the developing process of this reagent, please go to: How did EZ Biosystems develop Avalanche® Cell type/cell line specific transfection reagent series?
Features:
- Specifically optimized to deliver nucleic acids into A-498 cells
- Highest efficiency to ensure experimental success
- Extremely gentle to cells
- Much less reagent needed for each transfection: 0.5 ml is able to transfect about 1000 wells of 24-well plate
- Deliver single or multiple plasmids
- Synthesized from 100% animal origin-free components, making it easy to validate the absence of zoonotic diseases, such as BSE or viruses, in research experiments or cells lines
- Easy-to-use protocol: Just mix nucleic acids with the reagent to form complexes and simply add the mixture to cells
- Compatible with serum
- Suitable for Reverse Transfection
- Compatible with transfection in any plate format
- Economical: High efficiency means less amount of nucleic acid & reagent is needed
- Developed and manufactured by EZ Biosystems
