Paper Transfection of Infectious RNA and DNA/RNA Layered Vectors of Semliki Forest Virus by the Cell-Penet
Peptide PepFect6 (PF6)
Delivery Success Class no
In Vivo Flag no
Uptake Confirmed no
Label Confidence high
In Vitro Functional Effect yes
Endosomal Escape Evidence yes
Peptide Concentration (charge ratio siRNA:PF6 = 1:40; exact µM not reported)
Rna Concentration 100 nM siRNA in mixture (10.5 µL of 100 nM used per well per protocol)
Mixing Ratio charge ratio 1:40 (siRNA:PF6)
Formulation Format electrostatic CPP/siRNA nanoparticles
Formulation Components PF6 + anti-EGFP siRNA
Size Nm
Zeta Mv
Model Scope in_vitro
Model Type in vitro
Cell Lines Or Primary Cells CHO-EGFP (stable EGFP) and CHO cells (pre-transfection before SFV infection)
Animal Model
Administration Route
Output Type Functional knockdown + impact on subsequent SFV infection (confocal: nsP1 / nsP3-ZsGreen replication organelles)
Output Value EGFP levels greatly diminished by 24 h (knockdown described); PF6 pre-transfection showed no adverse effect on subsequent SFV infection even at 2 h interval
Output Units
Output Notes Cells pre-transfected with PF6/anti-EGFP siRNA showed strong EGFP reduction by 24 h and did not show altered SFV replication organelle phenotype upon subsequent infection, unlike Lipofectamine 2000 at short intervals.
