david,

we transfect 293 cells to ~30% efficiency by electorporation at 280V/960
µFd in a biorad electroporator. cells are concentrated to 20 million/ml
in optimem (BRL), and 0.5ml get zapped with 10-20 µg DNA (circular
plasmid) .  alternatively, invtrogens pFx-2 works just as well, if not
better, and requires less DNA and cells.  good luck,
