title: Genetic transformation of mouse cultured cells with the help of high-velocity mechanical DNA injection.
abstract: NIH 3T3 mouse cells were transfected by the plasmid pSV3neo (G418-resistant) with the help of high-velocity mechanical DNA injection based on the principle of bombarding cells with tungsten particles covered with the DNA. Stable transformants were obtained. Dot-hybridization and Southern analysis revealed the integration into the genome of 5-20 copies per cell of original plasmid DNA. The plasmid DNA was shown to have tandem organization.
