摘要:
A cell culture device for transfecting a eukaryotic cell is disclosed. The cell culture/transfection device may be a multiwell plate or slide which has been coated with a metal salt such as CaCl2. Methods of using the cell culture device to transfect mammalian cells and /or to monitor cell transfection are described. Kits are also described which include the cell transfection device, eukaryotic cells to be transformed and nucleic acid for transformation.
摘要:
A polymer comprising recurring units represented by formula (I); wherein X is selected from the group consisting of C(O)OR1, C(O)SR1, C(O)NR1R2, and VZ, where R1 and R2 are each individually selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, C1 to C10 alkyl, and C6 to C10 aryl, where V is a labile linker group, and where Z is selected from the group consisting of poly(ethyleneimine), poly(propyleneimine), poly(lysine), PAMAM dendrimer, octaamine dendrimer, and hexadecaamine dendrimer; and wherein Y is selected from the group consisting of -(CH2)2-, -(CH2)2-O-(CH2)2-, -(CH2)2-O-(CH2)2-O-(CH2)2-, and -(CH2)3-NHC(O)-(CH2)6-C(O)NH-(CH2)3- is useful in nucleic acid delivery applications. Polyacetals of the formula (I) are preferably made by reacting appropriate diols and divinyl ethers. In preferred embodiments, complexes formed between polyacetals of the formula (I) and polynucleotides are useful as transfection reagents.
