Transfection efficiencies of amphiphilic compounds similar to TMA- C2-DEA-C14. The cells were transfected for 3.0 h with mixtures of DNA/similar amphiphile (1.5μg/5.0μl). At 24 h post-transfection, fluorescent cells were counted under a fluorescence microscope in more than 3 different views (a minimum of 300 cells/view). All data points are averages obtained from 2 replications performed on different days and expressed as the mean ± standard deviation.
