Aim:
To study the distribution and efficiency of pEGFP-N1 plasmid after its transfection in cardiomyocytes.
Methods:
The neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were cultured. According to the different grow period of neonatal rat cardiomyocytes, the distribution and efficiency of pEGFP-N1 plasmid after its transfection in cardiomyocytes were studied.
Results:
The efficiency was significantly increased after pEGFP-N1 plasmid transfection in one-day cardiomyocytes. The distribution of EGFP was in the cytoplasm and nucleus.
Conclusion:
The efficiency of pEGFP-N1 plasmid after its transfection in cardiomyocytes was related to the grow period of neonatal rat cardiomyocytes. The distribution of EGFP was in the cytoplasm and nucleus.
