METHOD 1. Twenty-four hours before transfection, harvest exponentially growing cells by
trypsinization and replate them at a density of 1 x 10 5 to 4 x 10 5 cells/cm 2 in 60-mm tissue
culture dishes or 12-well plates in the appropriate complete medium. Incubate the cultures
for 20-24 hours at 37 C in a humidified incubator with an atmosphere of 5-7% CO 2. Change
the medium 1 hour before transfection.
