Peptide Concentration 4.2 µM (for N/P=4 with 100 nM siRNA)
Rna Concentration 100 nM (Luc or Scr siRNA); 100 nM Alexa488-siRNA for uptake assay
Mixing Ratio N/P = 4 (amino/guanidino groups : siRNA phosphates)
Formulation Format electrostatic peptide/siRNA complexes (CPP nanoparticles)
Formulation Components Pep1 + siRNA (Luc or Scr) / Alexa488-siRNA (uptake)
Size Nm
Zeta Mv
Model Scope in_vitro
Model Type in vitro
Cell Lines Or Primary Cells Huh-7-Luc (luciferase-expressing human hepatoma cells; 10% FBS media)
Animal Model
Administration Route
Output Type Uptake (flow cytometry + fluorescence microscopy) and RNAi (luciferase assay, 24 h)
Output Value No significant luciferase knockdown at N/P=4 (24 h).
Output Units
Output Notes Moderate intracellular Alexa488-siRNA signal by microscopy; flow cytometry shows intermediate mean fluorescence. RNAi measured in 10% FBS at 24 h; Lipofectamine 3000 ineffective under these conditions.
Toxicity Notes Low cytotoxicity at N/P=2–8 (24 h) in viability assay.
