In vivo transfection is transfection that occurs within a living organism, instead of just a group of living cells. See the diagram below for an easy comparison.
in vitro is Latin for “within glass”.
in vivo is Latin for “within the living”.
Products related to different forms of in vivo transfection are provided by different private companies. One American company that provides such products and services is Altogen Labs.
