Abstract

Several mouse lymphoid cell lines were efficiently transfected with plasmid DNA by a novel method combining DEAE-dextran-mediated DNA uptake and osmotic shock procedure. The cells were first incubated with DNA-DEAE-dextran complex, treated with hypertonic Tris-HCl buffer containing 0.5 M sucrose and 10% poly(ethylene glycol), and then exposed to hypotonic RPMI 1640 medium. This transfection protocol exhibited maximal frequencies of 0.3% and 3·10-5 for transient gene expression and stable transformation in P3-NSI/1-Ag4-1 cells, respectively.
