What is the transfection efficiency of jetPEI™-macrophage in monocyte-derived human macrophages?
The transfection efficiency of jetPEI™-macrophage on human macrophage is approximately 30% according to the jetPEI™-Macrophage protocol or 107 RLU/mg protein. It is essential to grow the human primary macrophage derived from blood monocytes for 7 to 10 days with 100 U/ml of GM-CSF prior to transfection in order for the cells to express functional mannose receptors (C. Furman et al., (2004) Free Radic Biol Med 37: 71-85).
