Claim: The Transient expression's methodology varies on the organism to transform; while plants can be transformed with a construct introduced into Agrobacterium tumefaciens via agroinfiltration or floral dip, most animal cells would require a viral vector, which are tools commonly used by biologists to deliver genetic material into cells.
Evidence: Transient expression, more frequently referred to "transient gene expression", is the temporary expression of genes that are expressed for a short time after a nucleic acid, most frequently plasmid DNA encoding an expression cassette, has been introduced into eukaryotic cells. Methodology varies depending on the organism to transform. While plants can be transformed with a construct introduced into Agrobacterium tumefaciens via agroinfiltration or floral dip, most animal cells would require a viral vector. Viral vectors are tools commonly used by molecular biologists to deliver genetic material into cells.
