Accell Red Cyclophilin B Control siRNA
siRNA delivery without a transfection reagent
Accell Red Cyclophilin B Control siRNA is a fluorescent control reagent that provides highly reliable qualitative assessment of Accell siRNA uptake as determined by fluorescent microscopy to evaluate cytoplasmic localization of the dye-labeled Accell siRNA or FACS analysis to determine general uptake. In addition, it acts as a positive control targeting Cyclophilin B. Also known as peptidylprolyl isomerase B (PPIB), Cyclophilin B is abundantly expressed in most mammalian cells and because it is non-essential, knockdown of the corresponding mRNA does not affect cell viability.
Highlights
- Targets accession numbers: NM_000942 (Human) or NM_011149 (Mouse) or NM_022536 (Rat)
- Novel siRNA modifications facilitate uptake, stability, specificity and knockdown efficiency
- Accell modifications also provide stability against nuclease-mediated degradation
- Accell Red is labeled with Cy3. Absorbance/ Emission Max is 547/563 nm, a Cy3, Rhodamine or PE filter can be used
Experimental considerations
- Accell siRNA works at a higher concentration than conventional siRNA; recommended 1 µM working concentration
- Delivery may be inhibited by the presence of BSA in serum. Optimization studies with serum-free media formulations (Accell Delivery Media) or < 2.5% serum in standard media is recommended
- Full-serum media can be added back after 48 hours of incubation, optimal mRNA silencing is typically achieved by 72 hours, or up to 96 hours for protein knockdown
Efficient delivery of Accell Red Cyclophilin B Control siRNA
Uptake of Accell siRNA confirmed by fluorescence microscopy. SH-SY5Y cells were treated with 1 µM Accell Red Cyclophilin B siRNA in Accell Delivery Media.
Cell types demonstrating effective silencing with Accell siRNA
Internal validation and peer-reviewed publications report numerous successes with difficult-to-transfect cell types. See the References tab for a list of publications.
The Accell siRNA application protocol simplifies targeted gene knockdown
The Accell siRNA application protocol simplifies targeted gene knockdown (A) Combine Accell siRNA with Accell delivery media (or other low- or no-serum media) (B) Add Accell delivery mix directly to cells and incubate for 72 hours.
