trobule with double stable transfection - (Dec/02/2007 )
Hey everyone,
                   I've been trying to do a double stable transfection with G418 and hygromycin (used both g418 and hygromycin at the same time).  I 've ran a kill curve on my 293 cells for both antibiotics and used the corrosponding concentration.  But i'm having a hard time getting any cells that survive after 2 weeks.  I'm not sure what the problem is.  Anyone have any tips or experience with double stable transfections.  I think there is something wrong with the hygromycin part of the trasnfection.  I was previously able to do a single stable transfection using the G418.  The problem occurs with I preform teh G418 and hygromycin selection together.
Thanks,
joe

if in parallel double stable transfection is too difficult, I would try to do it sequently, first select a G418 stable then a hygromycin stable transfectant
