RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application is a divisional of U.S. application Ser. No. 10 / 341,059 filed Jan. 13, 2003 which is incorporated herein by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The present invention is related to a method for introducing biomolecules, such as nucleic acids, into cells by culturing cells on a solid surface which is coated with a transfection reagents and biomolecules for routine transfection assays and high-throughput transfection assays. The present invention is also related to method of use and method of making the transfectable surface for such assays. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0003] Gene transfection methods can be used to introduce nucleic acids into cells and are useful in studying gene regulation and function. High throughput assays that can be used to screen large sets of DNAs to identify those encoding products with properties of interest are particularly useful. Gene transfection is the delivery and introduction of biologically functional...
