Efficient delivery of Accell Red Non-targeting Control siRNA

Uptake of Accell siRNA confirmed by fluorescence microscopy. SH-SY5Y cells were treated with 1 µM Accell red non-targeting control siRNA in Accell delivery media.

Gene silencing in cardiomyocytes using Accell control siRNA and Accell delivery media or low serum NRVM media

Neonatal rat ventricular myocytes were incubated with 1 μM Accell Green (Cat# D-001950-01) Non-targeting siRNA for 72 hours in Accell delivery media (Cat# B-005000). Labeled control uptake showed diffuse cytoplasmic localization in nearly all cells (data not shown). The bar graph indicates the level of gene silencing achieved with Accell Rat GAPD siRNA Control (Cat# D-001930-03) and Accell Rat GAPD siRNA Control Pool (Cat# D-001930-30) when used with neonatal rat ventricular myocyte (NRVM) media or Accell delivery media. Myocytes were prepared as described in Maass AH & Buvoli M. Cardiomyocyte preparation, culture, and gene transfer. Methods in Molecular Biology 2007;366: 321-30. mRNA expression was determined by QuantiGene branched DNA assay (Panomics).
