title: SV40 DNA transfection of cells in suspension: analysis of efficiency of transcription and translation of T-antigen.
abstract: A modification of the Graham and Van der Eb (1974) DNA-calcium phosphate coprecipitation technique is shown to routinely transfect 15% of CV-1 cells with SV40 DNA. The transfection is done in suspension after detachment of cells by trypsin digestion. Transfection efficiency was measured by staining cells for the presence of SV40 T-antigen by indirect immunofluorescence and by assaying for the presence of SV40 early message by the Berk and Sharp (1978) technique.
