In all runs, 7,000 cells/cm2 were inoculated and pH was set to 7.2 before transfections and 7.0 after transfection. Abbreviations are as follows: HC, high compaction; LC, low compaction; PT, post-transfection; FBS, fetal bovine serum; L-glut., L-glutamine (4 mM); P/S, Penicillin-Streptomycin (50 μg/mL-50 U/mL); extras, NEAA + Na-pyruvate + CD-lipid supplement; LV, lentiviral vector; TK, thymidine kinase.
