Answer / Sandeep Singh

INS-1 cells are a rat insulinoma cell line, used in research for studying pancreatic beta cells and diabetes. To culture INS-1 cells, they are typically maintained in RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with FBS, penicillin, streptomycin, and L-glutamine. For transfection, cells are usually transfected using methods such as electroporation or lipofection with plasmid DNA containing the gene of interest.
