A novel cell permeability assay for macromolecules

Abstract Background Many cell permeabilisation methods to mediate internalisation of various molecules to mammalian or bacterial cells have been developed.However, no size-specific permeability assay suitable for both cell types exists.Results We report the use of intrinsically biotinylated cell components as the target for reporter molecules for a
