Altogen Biosystems offers the BALB/3T3 Transfection Reagent
among a host of 100+ cell line specific In Vitro Transfection Kits.
The BALB/3T3 Transfection Reagent is a nanoparticle-based
liposome formulation reagent that enhances lipid mediated
transfection, and it has been developed to provide high
transfection efficiency with BALB/3T3 cells.
This cell line is a good host for transfection and the assessment of
cellular functionality. When cultured in vitro, BALB/3T3 cells are a
monolayer and adhere to the surface of the culture flask.
Other applications include drug discovery, gene expression
studies, molecular and cell biology research applications.

BALB/3T3 Cell Line Description and Applications
The BALB cell line is also known as the 3T3 cell line
(clone A31). The cell line originates from Mus
musculus embryos and was established in 1968. For
optimal BALB cell growth, care must be given to
environment as the BALB cell line is extremely
sensitive to environmental factors. The BALB cell line
is particularly useful for studying mammal embryonic
stem cells such as stem cells. Furthermore, this
BALB/3T3 cell line can serve as a transfection host in
a spectrum of biology research.

BALB/3T3Transfection Protocol
1. Plate 10,000 - 15,000 BALB/3T3 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 15 - 30 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 BALB/3T3cells (from
step 2)
7. Incubate cells at 37ºC in a humidified CO2 incubator
8. Assay for phenotype or target gene expression 48 - 72 hours after transfection
Optional: Transfection efficiency can be increased by addition of Transfection Enhancer reagent. Add 2 µl of
Transfection Enhancer reagent 12-24 hours after transfection
If the viability of BALB/3T3cells being transfected is affected at 16 - 24 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. Cyclophilin B silencing efficiency was determined by qRT-PCR in BALB/3T3cell line transfected
by Cyclophilin B siRNA or non-silencing siRNA control following the recommended transfection protocol.
Cyclophilin mRNA expression levels were measured 48 hours post-transfection. 18S rRNA levels were used
to normalize the Cyclophilin B data. Values are normalized to untreated sample. Data are presented as
means ± SD (n=6).

Data
Figure 2. Protein expression of Lamin A/C in BALB/3T3 cells. DNA plasmid expressing Lamin A/C or siRNA
targeting Lamin A/C were transfected into BALB/3T3 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.
