siRNA transfection of primary neurons

Here are some references from Invitrogen cell line database:

Comments: SK-N-SH cells plated on glass coverslips were transfected
with different...
Scientific Application(s): Transient Transfection
Product Name and Cat No: Lipofectamine™ 2000 (11668019)

Comments: SK-N-SH cells were stably transfected with Lipofectamine
2000.
Scientific Application(s): Stable Cell Transfection
Product Name and Cat No: Lipofectamine™ 2000 (11668019)

They also have a protocol but thats for Invitrogen proprietary Stealth
RNAi which will be easier to transfect.

Invitrogen have a new transfection product Lipofectamine™ RNAiMAX
Transfection Reagent designed for siRNA but I have no info for neuronal
cells. Maybe worth giving a try.
