This video describes the technique of genetic in vivo transfection of murine hepatocytes by hydrodynamic tail vein injection. This transfection system generates a long-term expression of the transgene in the hepatocytes.
Protocol
All procedures involving animal models have been reviewed by the local institutional animal care committee and the JoVE veterinary review board. 1. Preparing Solution for Hydrodynamic Tail Vein Injection NOTE: Prepare the plasmid constructs for constitutive and inducible gene expression by cloning technique using competent bacteria. Prepare sterile 0.9% saline for injection (do not use PBS). Use volu…
