Cotransfection (CAT#: STEM-GT-0009-WXH)

Introduction

Co-transfection refers to the simultaneous transfection of two separate nucleic acid molecules into a cell, allowing each to carry out its function within the same cell. In some cases co-transfection of DNA is necessary to study overexpression of two genes simultaneously or to use overexpression of one gene to quantify the transfection efficiency and study the overexpression of another gene. Co-transfection of several plasmids is also usually performed in the process of virus production.
