Abstract

Plasmid DNA is widely used for direct gene transfer in animals to study gene therapy, gene regulation, drug delivery and genetic immunization. Here we compare cesium chloride and anion-exchange purified plasmid DNA for direct gene transfer in mouse muscle and show no differences in efficiency of transfection with reporter genes or in humoral response to DNA-based immunization.
