VERO Transfection Reagent (Monkey Kidney Cells)
Altogen Biosystems offers the VERO Cell Transfection Reagent
among a host of 100+ cell line specific In Vitro Transfection Kits.
The VERO
Cell Transfection Reagent is a lipid mediated
formulation, and it has been developed to provide high
transfection efficiency with VERO.
This cell line is a good host for studying a range of areas within
the field of biomedical therapeutics and biology including
toxicology and virology. When cultured in vitro, VERO 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.

VERO Cell Line Description and Applications
Products >
High Density VERO cells
The Vero cell line originates from the kidney epithelial
cells taken from an African green monkey
(Cercopithecus aethiops). Yasumura and Kawakita
established the cell line in 1962 and named the cell
line as an abbreviation of “verda reno” meaning “green
kidney” in Esperanto. Vero cells are aneuploidy,
continuous, and can be replicated through several
division cycles. Unique from mammalian cells, Vero
cells do not produce type 1 interferons post infection.
The Vero cell line has several applications ranging
from serving as host for the growing viruses and
eukaryotic parasites (trypanosomatids in particular.)
The Vero cell line can also be used be using for the
screening of toxins such as Escherichia coli.

VERO Transfection Protocol
Products >
1. Plate 10,000 - 15,000 VERO 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 VERO cells (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 VERO cells 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. GAPD mRNA levels were quantified using real-time RT-PCR in the VERO cells transfected
with siRNAs targeting GAPD or non-silencing siRNA. Forty-eight hours post-transfection, the cells were
harvested and analyzed by real-time RT-PCR for GAPDH mRNA expression levels. Data were
normalized against the 18S rRNA signal. Control samples were either mock-transfected or untreated.
Values are normalized to untreated sample. Data are means ± SD (n=3).

Data
Figure 2. Protein expression of GAPDH in VERO cells. DNA plasmid expressing GAPDH or siRNA targeting
GAPDH were transfected into VERO cells following Altogen Biosystems transfection protocol. At 72 hours posttransfection 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.
