Transfection by Electroporation.

Transfection by Electroporation. Curr Protoc Immunol. 2017 Apr 03;117:10.15.1-10.15.9 Authors: Potter H, Heller R Abstract Electroporation-the use of high-voltage electric shocks to introduce DNA into cells-can be used with most cell types, yields a high frequency of both stable transformation and transient gene expression, and, because it requires fewer steps, can be easier than alternative techniques. This unit describes electroporation of mammalian cells, including ES cells, for the preparation of knock-out, knock-in, and transgenic mice. Protocols are described for the use of electroporation in vivo to perform gene therapy for cancer, as well as for DNA vaccination. © 2017 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
