Although various gene delivery techniques are available, their application in zebrafish cell
cultures has not been extensively studied. Here, we report that nucleofection of zebrafish
primary embryonic fibroblasts results in higher transfection efficiency in comparison to other
non-viral gene delivery methods. The transfection was performed using green fluorescent
protein (GFP) gene constructs of a different size. Greatest DNA uptake was obtained with 4.9-
kb plasmid, resulting in 43% GFP positive cells. Nucleofection with 7.4-kb pH2B-GFP …
Abstract
Although various gene delivery techniques are available, their application in zebrafish cell cultures has not been extensively studied. Here, we report that nucleofection of zebrafish primary embryonic fibroblasts results in higher transfection efficiency in comparison to other non-viral gene delivery methods. The transfection was performed using green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene constructs of a different size. Greatest DNA uptake was obtained with 4.9-kb plasmid, resulting in 43% GFP positive cells. Nucleofection with 7.4-kb pH2B-GFP plasmid followed by geneticin (G418) selection was successfully used to establish a cell line expressing nuclear histone 2B-GFP fusion protein. Efficient transfection of zebrafish fibroblasts by nucleofection offers a non-viral technique of plasmid delivery and can be used to overexpress genes of interest in these cells.
