General description
Escort™ II is a unique formulation of a proprietary cationic lipid and the neutral lipid DOPE. This liposome-forming compound is used for transfection of nucleic acids into eukaryotic cells.
Application
Suitable for transient and stable transfection of nucleic acids into cultured eukaryotic cells. Use approximately 25 μl Escort™ II and 5 μg DNA (in provided unique DNA Dilution buffer) per 6 cm cell culture plate. Protocol optimization provides very efficient transfection. The following cells have been successfully transfected using Escort™ II:
B16-F0
BHK-21
CHO-K1

Caution
Do not freeze.
Principle
A stable complex is formed when Escort™ II is mixed with DNA in the absence of serum. The complexes are stable and can be directly added to the cell culture medium, where they fuse with the cell membrane, releasing the DNA into the cytoplasm. Note: complex formation is inhibited by serum, but once stable complexes have formed, the presence of serum is without consequence.
