ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides compositions and methods for transfecting eukaryotic cells which comprise a nucleic acid, a cationic lipid capable of forming a complex with said nucleic acid, and a viral agent which is an active or inactive enveloped virus or a component of an enveloped virus. Particular viral agents include alpharviruses and components thereof.
