| Definitions |
Agent delivery of nucleic acids into cells. Transfection typically involves opening transient pores or holes in the cell membrane, to allow the uptake of material. Transfection can be carried out using calcium phosphate, by electroporation, or by mixing a cationic lipid with the material to produce liposomes, which fuse with the cell membrane and deposit their cargo inside. |
