Topic Introduction

DEAE-Dextran Transfection

Abstract

Biochemical methods of transfection, including calcium phosphate-mediated and diethylaminoethyl (DEAE)-dextran-mediated transfection, have been used for many years to deliver nucleic acids into cultured eukaryotic cells. Here, we briefly review the use of DEAE-dextran in transfection.
