Has anyone transfected ST15A cells? - Transfection of ST15A cells? (Jul/13/2006 )

Hi,
Im trying to transfect siRNA into ST15A neuronal cells, but they massively die of the transfection. I have tried various reagents such as Lipofectamine 2000, RNAiMAx, Interferin?
Does anyone have any good suggestions; Im running out of ideas myself.

I infect shRNA into SHSY5Y cells (also neuronal) using lentivirus. U could also use AAV (adeno associated virus) to do the same.

I found that Oligofectamine (Invitrogen) doesn't cause cell death, you could try that one

My lab has been using gencarrier-2 forn neuronal lines like SY5Y, PC-12...Efficiency is highest and toxicity is lowest among other agents we tried.
