Enrichment strategies for siRNA-transfected cells in an untransfected background
چکیده انگلیسی

Gene silencing experiments in difficult-to-transfect cells are often hampered by the presence of a background of untransfected cells. We present proof-of-concept data from two different strategies for enrichment of siRNA-transfected cells. In the first approach, a heterologous surface antigen is expressed from a plasmid that is co-transfected with an siRNA targeting an endogenous mRNA. The surface antigen is then used for enrichment of successfully transfected cells using antibody-coated magnetic particles. In the second strategy, a eukaryotic antibiotic resistance gene is expressed from a co-transfected plasmid. Addition of the corresponding antibiotic 24 h after transfection results in killing of untransfected cells, which can be washed away. Elimination of untransfected cells will allow more accurate interpretation of the effects of gene silencing.
