Abstract |
A plasmid vector, RSVLTR/棺G2, containing lacZ gene under the control of the RSVLTR promoter were transfected into chicken embryo fibroblasts by three different transfection methods. Calcium phosphate, lipsome and DEAE-dextran techniques were applied for transfection of chicken cells. A histochemical assay with X-gal was used as a simple method for screening transfected cells. Plasmid RSVLTR/棺G2-was expressed proficiently in the chicken embryo fibroblast. Calcium phosphate-DNA precipitate transfection resulted in the highest efficiency for transient expression of RSVLTR/棺G2. Transfected cells formed colonies on the 9th day of incubation indicating stable transformation of the inserted plasmid. |
