生物活性 for PEI STAR™ transfection reagent

PEI STAR™ is a chemically-defined, high-performance polyethylenimine (PEI) transfection reagent for cost-effective, affordable and scalable transient gene expression. PEI is a synthetic polymer with an exceptionally high positive charge density in pH-neutral solutions. Positively charged PEI binds strongly to negatively charged DNA and imparts a net cationic charge, allowing the DNA to enter cells. PEI is a non-viral vector commonly used to transfect HEK293 and CHO cells. Applications include production of recombinant proteins, antibodies and viruses.

Pre-dissolved, ready-to-use formulation of PEI STAR™ also available: PEI STAR-Go™ transfection reagent (Cat. No. 8174).

Scientific Data

Application of PEI STAR™ transfection reagent. PEI STAR™ performance data comparison (HEK293): HEK 293 - 20 mL cultures containing HEK293 suspensions were transfected with a CMV-SEAP plasmid at optimized PEI/DNA ratios using either PEI STAR™ (3:1) or leading competitor PEI. SEAP expression levels were quantified 5 days post-transfection using phosphatase reporter dye and UV/Vis absorbance.

Application of PEI STAR™ transfection reagent. PEI STAR™ performance data comparison (CHO): CHO - 20 mL cultures containing CHO suspensions were transfected with a CMV-SEAP plasmid at optimized PEI/DNA ratios using either PEI STAR™ (5:1) or leading competitor PEI. SEAP expression levels were quantified 5 days post-transfection using phosphatase reporter dye and UV/Vis absorbance.

Transfection of a reporter GFP construct using a leading competitor PEI and PEI STAR. HEK293 cells grown in DMEM/10% FBS to 75% confluency in a 24 well plate. 1 μg of DNA + 25 μL optimem and 2 μg of PEI (1 mg/mL) + 25 μL optimem were incubated for 8 minutes before addition to cells. PEI STAR showed significantly higher expression of GFP in imaged cells.

PEI STAR, Best Combo of Transfection Efficiency and Cost Effectiveness.
By Karen Linde-Garelli on 03/01/2024
种属: Human
细胞系/组织: Expi293F

Our lab routinely works with various different protein targets, all ranging in levels of attainable overexpression. We tested various transfection reagents according to manufacture recommended protocols in hopes of recapitulating the closest efficiency to Expifectamine, but at a more affordable cost per liter of cell culture. Our data has made us big fans of PEI STAR! It clearly improves over PEI MAX, and it is the most cost-efficient alternative we’ve found so far compared to Expifectamine (which is far too expensive to be sustainable for us).

Expifectamine is nice for overall protein expression, but not to a degree where it compensates enough in total protein yield to be worth the high cost per liter of cell culture. Since DOTAP is the base lipid for the Expifectamine formulation, we wanted to know whether DOTAP alone and/or supplemented with Expifectamine would be a good compromise for price vs efficiency. However, we noticed that DOTAP has solubility issues and, in the end, it does not look great in our hands. Likewise, a rescue experiment with small supplementations of Expifectamine does improve efficiency to some degree, but not sufficiently to make it worth it – cost-wise – for large culture volume transfections. Lastly, we also compared two formulations of PEI: MAX vs STAR. PEI STAR appears to increase expression ~1.5-fold compared to PEI MAX. This seems to be because PEI MAX might be slightly more toxic than PEI STAR based on viability over time (otherwise, both PEI MAX and PEI STAR trend similarly). Ultimately, between all of these conditions, PEI STAR is the most effective transfection reagent we've found that meets efficiency and cost needs for routine R&D in protein expression workflows.
