What is the efficiency of MATra?
MATra is a universally efficient method, convenient for a lot of cell types (cell lines and primary cells). The transfection efficiency depends on many parameters such as cell type, cell density, plasmid-DNA construct, cell culture conditions etc. For example, we have tested the MA Lipofection Enhancer reagent (associated with several commercial transfection reagents) on several primary cells and we achieved at least a 30% increase of transfection efficiency (compared to the transfection reagent used without MA Lipofection Enhancer). In several experiments transfection efficiency could be increased by up to 100 fold. In the same way, oligonucleotides could be delivered in 90% of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). For MATra-A Reagent the efficiency is for instance 40% in porcine aortic endothelial cells (PAEC) or 75% in NIH-3T3. Please refer to our list Successfully Transfected Cells .
