Abstract
Using liposomes as the mediator of DNA transfer, we were successful in the transfection of human hepatocytes isolated from surgical samples with an E. coli beta-galactosidase gene (beta-gal). A comparison of transfection efficiency showed that of the four promoters used, cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter yielded higher transfection efficiencies than Rous sarcoma virus (RSV), Simian virus-40 (SV-40) and human alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) promoters. These studies represent the first report on the successful transfection of primary cultures of human hepatocytes.Entities:
