HeLa transient transfection

[Fritz Grunert]

Hi,
we try to transfect HeLa cells transiently with pRC/CMV or pBHE vectors
and CD66 inserts but have very poor expression (transfection with
lipofectamin (Gibco) 2µg DNA on 80% confluent HeLa cells, 6 well plate)
3-5% positive cells after 48h compared with CHO-cells. Has anyone an
idea or good protocol for efficient transfection of HeLa?
