Products > Transfection Reagent for COLO-205 Cells (Colon Adenocarcinoma Cell, CCL-222)
COLO-205 Cell Line Description and Applications
The COLO-205 cell line was established from the cell line CV-1, a cell line established from the kidney cells of an African Green monkey (Cercopithecus aethiops), that was transformed with a mutant SV-40 genome. This SV-40 genome produces large T antigens. The COLO-205 cell line is characterized as fibroblast-like cells that grow as a monolayer. Researchers use the COLO-205 cell line to study the SV-40 monkey virus as well as to transfect cells. As a tool for transfection, the COLO-205 cell line has applications for the production of recombinant proteins for biochemistry as well as molecular and cellular biology. Research indicates that COLO-205 can completely allow for lytic growth of SV-40.

Products > Transfection Reagent for COLO-205 Cells (Colon Adenocarcinoma Cell, CCL-222)
COLO-205 Transfection Protocol
1. Plate 10, ,000 COLO-205 cells per well in 0.5 ml of complete growth medium 12–24 hours prior to transfection
2. Wash with 1xPBS and add 0.5 ml of fresh growth medium
3. Prepare transfection complexes by mixing 40 µl of serum-free medium, 5.5 µl of transfection reagent, and
• 750 ng DNA (or mRNA), or
• 30 nM - 50 nM of siRNA (or microRNA)
*Referred to a final volume including growth medium
4. Incubate transfection complexes at RT for minutes
5. Optional: Add 2 µl of Complex Condenser. This reagent reduces the size of transfection complex, therefore increasing transfection efficiency; however it may increase cell toxicity
6. Add prepared transfection complexes to 0.5 ml of complete growth medium with COLO cells (from step 2)
7. Incubate cells at 37ºC in a humidified CO2 incubator
8. Assay for phenotype or target gene expression hours after transfection
Optional: Transfection efficiency can be increased by addition of Transfection Enhancer reagent. Add 2 µl of Transfection Enhancer reagent hours after transfection
If the viability of COLO-205 cells being transfected is affected at hours post-transfection, the level of cytotoxicity can be decreased by changing the growth medium and eliminating redundant exposure of cells to transfectant

Data
Figure 1. siRNAs targeting Lamin A/C mRNA or non-silencing control siRNA were transfected into COLO-205 cells following the recommended protocol. At 48 hours post-transfection the cells were analyzed by qRT-PCR for Lamin A/C gene expression levels. 18S rRNA levels were used to normalize the Lamin A/C data. Values are normalized to untreated sample. Data are means ± SD (n=4).

Data
Figure 2. Protein expression of Lamin A/C in COLO-205 cells. DNA plasmid expressing Lamin A/C or siRNA targeting Lamin A/C were transfected into COLO-205 cells following Altogen Biosystems transfection protocol. At 72 hours post-transfection the cells were analyzed by Western Blot for protein expression levels (normalized by total protein, 10 µg of total protein loaded per each well). Untreated cells used as a negative control.
