Transfection of approximately 2 × 106 HeLa HA cells was carried out in T-75 flasks with 8 µg of the driver plasmid DNA and 4 µg of the passenger plasmid DNA. In the column labeled ‘No driver', only 4 µg of the passenger plasmid DNA was transfected. Following G418R selection, flasks were stained and colonies counted. The data are presented as the mean number of G418R colonies across replicates (n ± SEM). Activity is the number of G418R for each passenger divided by the number of EGFP mneoI G418R.
