1. A method for transfecting an animal cell, comprising the steps of:
- a) rehydrating a lyophilized composition comprising a lyoprotectant and one or more plasmids complexed with a DNA transfection reagent;
b) adding to the rehydrated composition obtained in step a) one or more free plasmids; and
c) transfecting an animal cell with the mixture obtained in step b).

Abstract
Disclosed is a novel formulation for the production of a lyophilized plasmid/DNA transfection reagent complex capable of serving as a carrier for additional free plasmids. Upon rehydration, this plasmid/DNA transfection reagent carrier can be used to introduce simultaneously the complexed plasmid and the additional free plasmids into animal cells. This novel formulation can be useful for viral particle production, gene transfer experiments like gene silencing experiments, reporter gene, or integration/selection experiments.
