Try to optimize your transfection condition accordingly. Alternatively, you may try FuGENE® 6 or FuGENE® HD transfection reagents (protocol optimization is recommended). -
I would like to try the electroporation technology, such as Amaxa Nucleofector , which could give rise to high transfection efficiency

We use HIV-1 derived viral vectors (VSV-G pseudotyped) to introduce shRNA sequence into Huvec.

Try ScreenFect A (www.incella. com)
It works really well for siRNA transfection -
If you have access to Nucleofector system, this is the simplest and cheapest way: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0003269708008464
