title: Biolistic DNA delivery to mice with the low pressure gene gun.
abstract: Biolistic DNA delivery is an approach to deliver plasmid to culture cells, plants, or animals. Plasmid DNA is usually transferred through bombardment of DNA-coated particles by highly pressurized gas in various kinds of delivery vehicles. The low pressure gene gun can deliver plasmid at lower pressure. Here, we describe methods of biolistic DNA delivery to mice using the low pressure gene gun.
