Invitrogen™ BacMam Enhancer Kit
Description
Includes
Each kit contains sufficient material for treating 10 X 96 microplates.
To use, simply add the BacMam enhancer to cell culture media with or without serum that have already been treated with the BacMam reagent, then incubate cells for 1.5–2 hours at 37°C and 5% CO2 and replace with fresh medium. Different cell types vary in their response to the BacMam enhancer and for best results the amount and treatment time will need to be optimized. Once prepared, the enhancer solution is stable to multiple freeze/thaw cycles following the recommended storage conditions. If desired, the solution can be divided into aliquots following reconstitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Try varying particle-to-cell ratio (PPC), incubation volume, temperature and, cell density (if adherent cells are transduced). For adherent cells, we recommend a confluence of about 70%. Following the PPC, adjusting the volume is the next best parameter to change to optimize protein expression. If that doesn't work, you can also use the BacMam Enhancer Kit (Cat. No. B10107).
First, make sure that your cells are mammalian and non-blood derived. If the cells have low transduction efficiency (i.e., only a few cells are labeling or are labeling only dimly), first try increasing the particle number per cell. The next thing to try is to use the BacMam Enhancer Solution. If, however, your cells show labeling, but the localization seems to be too generalized or ubiquitous within the cell, then you should reduce the particle number per cell. The manual gives a guideline and formula for calculating particle number per cell.
