title: Arrays of transfected mammalian cells for high content screening microscopy.
abstract: In this chapter we describe protocols for reverse transfection to generate mammalian cell arrays for systematic gene knock-downs by RNAi or knock-ins by ectopic cDNA expression. The method is suitable for high content screening microscopy at a high spatial and temporal resolution allowing even time-lapse analysis of hundreds of samples in parallel.
