Hi,

As far as HL-60 cells are concerned, the only approaches that work for
transfection are electroporation and virus-mediated transfection.

I have tried lipofectamine, superfect, effectene, calcium phosphate and
others I know have tried the dextran method without success.

Furthermore, retroviral transfection of HL-60 cells give quite poor
results: about 1-2% transfection efficency. Electroporation remains the
best alternative for transfection HL-60 cells. Also, I recommend you use a
lot of DNA in your transfections. I used 40micrograms per transfection.

Hope this helps
