Plasmid DNA Transfection
To obtain efficient gene transfer by transfection, plasmid DNA can be complexed with lipid reagents to mediate efficient delivery into the cell's nucleus. This process is essential for subsequent protein expression of the gene of interest. Plasmids are small circular DNA molecules that naturally occur in bacteria, and are actually used by the bacteria to transfer genetic information. The mechanism of adding a DNA Plasmid into a mammalian cell is known as plasmid transfection. |
