Goal: Compare DNA vs. RNA transfection for SARS-RBD utilizing melanoma cells and lipofectamine.
Lipofectamine Messenger MAX (LMRNA001) did not arrive in time to transfect RNA. We will continue with DNA transfection.
GFP Primers (created using cas9_eGFP)
(For Original project: CFTR - Project changed so GFP primers were not utilized)
