what is Mock? is that DNA? and why do we use it in mammalian transfection as a negative control? i have checked the net, but can't find any info about it.

SUMMARY
Mock refers to a negative control used in mammalian transfection experiments to ensure that any observed effects are due to the experimental treatment rather than external factors. It is not DNA but rather a control condition that mimics the experimental setup without the active component. The purpose of using a Mock control is to validate the results by providing a baseline for comparison, confirming that the transfection process itself does not induce unintended effects.
