Description
Eukaryotic cells respond to foreign substances such as lipopolysaccharides, foreign DNA or RNA, and foreign proteins by taking defensive measures to inhibit invasion of potential pathogens. The cells then send messenger molecules to neighboring cells to implement defensive measures. These defensive mechanisms can greatly impair the transfection process for certain cells. The Ultra 2K Transfection System is comprised of the optimized Ultra 2K Transfection Reagent based on powerful cationic lipids, and the Ultra 2K Multiplier which decreases the cells’ ability to detect foreign nucleic acids, resulting in increased transfection efficiency.
