Objective: To observe the impact of transfection of human granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor ( hGM- CSF) mediated by hydroxyapatite(HA) nanoparticles on the growth of HepG2 cells in order to lay the foundation for further studying gene-modified tumor vaccines of hepatoma in clinic. Methods:The proliferation of HepG2 cells was measured by MTT assay. The plas- mids containing hGM-CSF gene were transfected into HepG2 cells mediated by HA nanoparticles. Subsequently, resistant cells were selected by G418 screening. The monoclona...
