In this video, we demonstrate magnetically-guided transfection of plasmid DNA in primary neuronal cell culture. Magnetofection uses an external magnetic field to guide the delivery of plasmids bound to magnetic nanoparticles into cell cytoplasm.

Protocol

1. Poly-ornithine/Laminin (Po/L) Dish Coating NOTE: Volumes are adapted to coat a 24-well plate. If needed, put a sterile 12 mm coverslip in the well. Coat the wells with 500 µL of 10 µg/mL Poly-L-Ornithine solution dissolved in water. Let the wells settle at room temperature for 1 h. Remove the Poly-L-Ornithine solution and air-dry for 30 min. Coat the wells overnight at 37 °C with 500 µL…
