On the other hand, with conventional reagents, the transfection efficiency decreased as the length of the introduced DNA increased, and the transfection efficiency for long-chain DNA of 10 kbps or more was not sufficient.<br \/>\nThe present invention efficiently introduces into cells by compacting long-chain plasmid DNAs, and then releases them into cells to express proteins with high efficiency.<br \/>\nThe figure compares the transfection efficiency of EGFP (15 kbps) between the commercially available reagent and our technology (Com3)<\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse;
