DNA amounts for lipid transfection, based on prime editor system

PE System Amounts of Transfection Components
PE2 200 ng PEmax plasmid
66 ng epegRNA plasmid
PE3/PE3b 200 ng PEmax plasmid
66 ng epegRNA plasmid
22 ng nicking sgRNA plasmid
PE4 200 ng PEmax plasmid
66 ng epegRNA plasmid
100 ng MLHIdn plasmid
PE5/PE5b 200 ng PEmax plasmid
66 ng epegRNA plasmid
22 ng nicking sgRNA plasmid
100 ng MLHIdn plasmid
TwinPE 200 ng PEmax plasmid
33 ng epegRNA 1 plasmid
33 ng epegRNA 2 plasmid
TwinPE + recombinase single-transfection targeted donor integration

*Optimized for 48-well plate
500 ng PEmax plasmid
50 ng epegRNA 1 plasmid
50 ng epegRNA 2 plasmid
200 ng Bxbl plasmid
200 ng recombination donor plasmid

All of these amounts, except for those associated with single-transfection integration, have been optimized for 96-well plate transfections of HEK293T cells using 0.5 μl per well of Lipofectamine 2000.The single-transfection integration amounts have been optimized for 48-well plate transfections of HEK293T cells using 1 μl per well of Lipofectamine 2000.
