  • Transfection of eukaryontic cells with linear polynucleotides by electroporation
    Patent number: 7547551
    Abstract: The present invention provides an improved method for gene delivery in eukaryotic cells by electroporation, preferably in human hematopoietic cells, particular dendritic cells. The method of the invention is superior to lipofection and passive pulsing of mRNA and to electroporation of plasmid cDNA for gene delivery, including tumor antigen loading of dendritic cells.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 20, 2002
    Date of Patent: June 16, 2009
    Assignees: University of Antwerp.
