Abstract

A method for obtaining a eukaryotic cell transfected with an episome involves transfecting the cell with the episome under conditions wherein cells survive that are successfully transfected with the episome. The resulting cells express both a first protein whose expression causes cell death and a second protein whose expression prevents cell death resulting from expression of the first protein.
