ONE FOCUS: TRANSFECTION
Transfection is a type of macromolecular delivery in which large, negatively charged nucleic acids are
delivered through cellular membranes and into the intracellular compartments where they can exert
their function. Almost two decades after its founding, transfection continues to be the focal point and
passion of Mirus Bio.
Every transfection product offered by Mirus Bio is the result of scientific discovery and development from an in-house team of organic chemists, molecular biologists and cell biologists. When
you contact Mirus Bio, you are speaking with a scientist with true expertise in the development,
manufacture, and performance of the product.

We recently tested the Trans IT-X2™ Dynamic Delivery System headto-head against Lipofectamine ® 2000 for DNA transfection of NIH-3T3
fibroblasts and the breast cancer cell line ZR-75-1. We observed higher
efficiency and less toxicity when using Trans IT-X2™. We are also pleased
to hear that Trans IT-X2™ will be offered in similar volume configurations
to Lipofectamine ® 2000.

or equal luciferase expression using TransIT-X2 in 26 of 30 cell types; 11 cell types had expression levels 2-fold higher

The Trans IT-X2™ Dynamic Delivery System performed
better than our regular transfection reagent (Polyjet)
for delivering DNA into the hard to transfect A549 cell
line. Trans IT-X2 was able to show protein expression
compared to Polyjet which failed to produce detectable
levels of protein containing V5 tag.

Description
Decrease time to produce usable protein by maximizing target protein yields through transient
transfection. The TransIT-PRO® Transfection Kit uses animal origin free components designed for high
and reproducible protein yield in suspension CHO and 293 derived cells. Since it is compatible with
varied media formulations, the same media can be used for both transient and stable expression.
The TransIT-PRO outperforms linear PEI in protein yield, while providing a cost-effective alternative to

FIGURE 27. High Efficiency Knockdown and Low Toxicity Using TransIT-TKO® Reagent in HeLa cells. Firefly and
sea pansy luciferase reporter vectors were co-transfected into HeLa cells using TransIT®-LT1 Reagent. Cells were
incubated for at least 4 hours, split into 24-well plates, allowed to adhere and transfected with 25 nM of either a
non-targeting siRNA or an anti-firefly luciferase siRNA using the indicated reagents with the volumes noted beneath
each well. Luciferase expression, normalized to non-targeting siRNA control (bar graph) and lactate dehydrogenase
(LDH) levels (line graph) were measured at 24 hours post-transfection. LDH levels are reported as percent cytotoxicity
compared to cells alone and were measured using a commercially available colorimetric assay; all values at or below
zero are represented as zero on graph.

IDEAL FOR USE IN VIRUS PRODUCTION
• Deliver Various Sizes of RNA—Ideal
for specialized applications, such as viral
production, protein expression from mRNA,
and stem cell reprogramming
"
Our lab recently used the Trans IT ® -mRNA Transfection Kit to show that intracellular delivery
of HPLC-purified and pseudouridine-containing mRNA can translate very efficiently without
immune activation which is ideal for mRNA-based gene therapy applications. Trans IT ® -mRNA
further facilitated this work through low toxicity transfections of HEK 293T, human dendritic
cells (DCs) and primary keratinocytes (Karikó et al. Nucleic Acids Research, 39:e142, 2011).

Description
TransIT®-mRNA Transfection Kit provides high efficiency transfection of large RNA molecules
such as mRNA or viral RNA. The kit is easy to use and minimizes cellular toxicity due to its ability

(Life Technologies) and Stemfect™ RNA Transfection Kit (Stemgent) - with a capped and polyadenylated EGFP mRNA
incorporating pseudouridine and 5mC modified bases (Trilink Biotechnologies, Inc.). Multiple reagent-to-RNA ratios
were tested and the optimal ratio is represented. Transfections were performed in 12-well plates using the indicated
reagent-to-RNA ratios to deliver 1 µg of RNA. Transfection efficiency was measured by flow cytometry on a guava®
easyCyte™ 5HT Flow Cytometer following 14 consecutive daily transfections (blue bars). Cell viability was determined
using cell counts measured during flow cytometry (black line grey bars). Error bars represent the standard deviation

A Transfection Breakthrough
NEW!TransIT-X2™ Dynamic Delivery System
Achieve superior transfections with an advanced nonliposomal, polymeric system that efficiently delivers
both DNA and RNA out of the endosome and into the
cytoplasm, overcoming a critical barrier to nucleic acid
delivery. The TransIT-X2™ Dynamic Delivery System gives
researchers:
X2
Efficiency–superior
broad spectrum transfection
Delivery–simultaneous
delivery of plasmid DNA and siRNA
