Efficient Nonviral Cutaneous Transfection
Preclinical in vivo rodent, porcine, and primate experiments aimed at enhancing nonviral transgene delivery to skin have been performed. These investigations have identified a compound (aurintricarboxylic acid or ATA) that enhances transfection activity of "naked" plasmid and pulsed electrical fields (electroporation or EP) that synergistically boosts ...

Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization Method for Measuring Transfection Efficiency
We describe here the use of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to measure the transfection efficiency of the transient expression vector pCMVcat in lymphoblasts and fibroblasts.

Laser-induced breakdown of an optically trapped gold nanoparticle for single cell transfection [PDF]
The cell selective introduction of therapeutic agents remains a challenging problem. Here we demonstrate spatially controlled cavitation instigated by laser-induced breakdown of an optically trapped single gold nanoparticle of diameter 100 nm. The energy

Incorporation of Indole Significantly Improves the Transfection Efficiency of Guanidinium-Containing Poly(methacrylamide)s [PDF]
In this study, we report a highly efficient transfection agent based on terpolymer consisting of N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide (HPMA), N-(3-guanidinopropyl) methacrylamide (GPMA), and N-(2-indolethyl)methacrylamide (IEMA) monomers by analogy to the ...

Magnetofection potentiates gene delivery to cultured endothelial cells [PDF]
Modification of cellular functions by overexpression of genes is increasingly practised for research of signalling pathways, but restricted by limitations of low efficiency. We investigated whether the novel technique of magnetofection (MF) could enhance

Improvement of transcription- and transfection-efficiency by synthetic polyampholytes [PDF]
Water-soluble PEG derivatives having both amino- and carboxyl-pendants (PEG-ACs) were synthesized, and examined for their transcription- and transfection-enhancing activity on DNA/polycation complexes. PEG-AC could be deposited onto the surface of DNA/polyethylenimine(PEI) complexes, and enhanced their transcriptional activity.

A method for concentrating lipid peptide DNA and siRNA nanocomplexes that retains their structure and transfection efficiency. [PDF]
Nonviral gene and small interfering RNA (siRNA) delivery formulations are extensively used for biological and therapeutic research in cell culture experiments, but less so in in vivo and clinical research.

Comparison of transfection efficiency of polymer-based and lipid-based transfection reagents
In this study, the optimal dose of Lipofectamine 3000 and Turbofect to transfect adherent cell lines such as CHO-K1 and HEK293 cells in comparison with non-adherent H9T-cells with pEGFP-N1 and pCDH was identified.Lipofectamine 3000 is a new transfection reagent which is claimed to be more efficient than other transfection reagents like Turbofect ...
