Transfection of KB Cells by Liposomes Containing Adenovirus Type 2 DNA

Stephen E Straus 1, Tazewell Wilson 2, Heschel J Raskas 3
PMCID: PMC171288  PMID: 7277577

Abstract

Adenovirus type 2 DNA was entrapped in liposomes which were then used to transfect KB cells with an efficiency of ∼4,000 plaques per μg of encapsulated DNA.
