Development and status of gene transfection / 国际生物医学工程杂志

Gene transfection is an important method for studying gene function. The origination and development of gene transfection are reviewed in this article. Six methods of gene transfection are introduced, among which, special attention are given to two new ones: particle bombardment and photochemistry transfection technology. Besides, the advantages and disadvantages of these methods are compared in order that more suitable methods can be chosen in researches. The application of the technology in gene research is discussed in the end of this article.
