We present a simple method based on transmission electron microscopy that allows investigation of the early steps of polyplex-mediated transfection without the use of labeled DNA. The ultrastructural analysis showed internalization of 0.2-1-micro m aggregates composed of 30-50-nm subunits. In addition, new details of the internalization process were revealed, suggesting an unspecific cell entry mechanism of large DNA aggregates.
我们提出了一种基于透射电子显微镜的简单方法,该方法无需使用标记DNA即可研究多聚体介导的转染早期步骤。超微结构分析显示,由30-50纳米亚基组成的0.2-1微米聚集体被内化。此外,还揭示了内化过程的新细节,表明大DNA聚集体存在非特异性细胞进入机制。
