Abstract

Studies on epithelial cells often require the transient expression of exogenous proteins in polarized epithelial cells. However, the major limitation of this approach has been the difficulty of obtaining transient gene expression in polarized epithelial cell cultures. We report here on the application of a polyethylenimine (PEI)/DNA/adenovirus system for efficient transient gene expression in mammary epithelial cells. Based on luciferase assay and FACScan analysis the PEI/DNA/adenovirus system is shown to be an effective and simple method for transfecting epithelial cells.
