title: Transient gene expression in untransformed lymphocytes.
abstract: Conditions for transfection of normal, freshly isolated and mitogen-stimulated spleen cells were established. A sharp optimum of plasmid at 10 micrograms per 1.5 X 10(7) transfected spleen cells per transfection was observed. The Ig promoter and the IgH enhancer activity was found to be restricted to cells of the B lineage also in normal, freshly isolated lymphocytes in vitro.
