What types of molecules can be transfected with cationic lipid reagents?

Lipid reagents can be used to transfect DNA, RNA, oligonucleotides and siRNA. The DNA can be plasmids, cosmids, or even YAC clones up to 600 kb. Lipofectin and Lipofectamine 2000 Reagent have also been used to transfect cells with proteins (Beta galactosidase and T3 polymerase).

Can I use the same amount of any lipid reagent for transfection of my particular cell line?

No. The amount of lipid for each lipid reagent should be optimized for each cell line. Each lipid reagent has different composition/formulation, which will have different impact on each cell line. Therefore please optimize whenever you have a new lipid for each cell line.
