Animals produced by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) using genetically modified cells are almost always transgenic, implying that this method is more efficient than the traditional pronuclear microinjection method. Most somatic cells for SCNT in animals are fetus-derived primary cells and successful gene integration in somatic cells will depend on transfection condition. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of electroporation (Microporator) and liposome reagents (F-6, F-HD, W-EX, W-Q, W-M) for tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) gene transfection and to estimate the overall efficiency of transfection of Korean native pig fetal fibroblast cells (KNPFF). Electroporation showed significantly higher transfection efficiency than liposome reagents with regard to the transfection of in vitro cultures in the early stages of development (41.7% with Microporator vs. 18.3% with F-6, 20.0% with F-HD 18.5% with W-EX, 5.0% with W-M and 6.3% W-Q,). Colonies identified as tPA-positives were treated once more with G418 for 10 to 14 days and growing colonies were selected again. When the cells of newly selected colonies were subjected to single-cell PCR, reselection of colonies following second round of G418 selection increased the rate of transgene integration per each colony. These results suggest that transfection with electroporation is the most efficient and the second rounds of G418 selection may be an effective method for transfection of porcine fetal fibroblast cells.
