The PC-3 was initiated from a bone metastasis of a grade IV prostatic adenocarcinoma from a 62-year-old male Caucasian. The cells exhibit low acid phosphatase and testosterone-5-alpha reductase activities.
PC-3 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:
PC-3 Cell Avalanche™ Transfection Reagent is a new, proprietary solution specifically designed for transfection on PC-3 Cells. The proprietary formulation of lipids and polymers ensures the highest possible transfection efficiencies and viabilities for PC-3 Cells. No other transfection reagents can match the efficiency, convenience, and gentleness of PC-3 Cell Avalanche™ Transfection Reagent for transfection on PC-3 Cells.

Recommended protocols for these cells will be provided with the reagent. The protocols usually provide satisfactory transfection efficiency with invisible cytotoxicity. However, optimization may be needed for certain type of cells. Optimizations may include: the amount of DNA and this transfection reagent; cell density; transfection reagent/DNA ratio, or incubation time for the mixture of transfection reagent/DNA etc. For best transfection result, we recommend using the respective cell type/cell line specific Avalanche transfection reagents. Those reagents have been optimized on both recipes and protocols, and have been proved to have the best transfection results for the respective cell lines or primary cells. You can easily find the respective Avalanche transfection reagents specific for your cells by using the filters of our product list. |
