A general and efficient transfection procedure, based on compacted lipopolyamine-coated plasmids, has been developed. The active species is obtained by simple addition of excess synthetic lipospermine solution to the DNA and binds within minutes to the cell membrane. This technique has been developed on endocrine cells of the intermediate lobe of the pituitary as a general tool for physiological work on primary cells; it is not toxic and does not interfere with physiological regulations in melanotrope cells. A variety of eukaryotic cell cultures also have been transfected with success for transient and stable expression.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013096 Spermine A biogenic polyamine formed from spermidine. It is found in a wide variety of organisms and tissues and is an essential growth factor in some bacteria. It is found as a polycation at all pH values. Spermine is associated with nucleic acids, particularly in viruses, and is thought to stabilize the helical structure.
D013552 Swine Any of various animals that constitute the family Suidae and comprise stout-bodied, short-legged omnivorous mammals with thick skin, usually covered with coarse bristles, a rather long mobile snout, and small tail. Included are the genera Babyrousa, Phacochoerus (wart hogs), and Sus, the latter containing the domestic pig (see SUS SCROFA).
