Q:

Do you have data about the in vivo implantation of hepatocytes transfected by Nucleofection™? For how long could protein expression be detected?

A:

There is a publication reporting on the successful reinjection of modified hepatocytes into mice.
Chen et al. were able to monitor the expression over several days. This group worked with a preliminary test solution for mouse hepatocyte as the optimized protocol was not finished at this time. Here are the citation details:
