Table 1. Advantages of in utero electroporation.

Advantages Details References
High efficiency, low cytotoxicity No significant increase in cell death has been detected after electroporation Saito (2006), Mizutani and Saito (2005)
Simple and quick procedure In vivo electroporation for gene transfer into more than 10 embryos can be carried out within 30 min Saito (2006)
Multiple gene targeting Multiple genes on different plasmids can be simultaneously transfected into the same cells Saito and Nakatsuji (2001)
Region and time-specific gene targeting Only the side of the ventricle that is close to the anode is transfected Saito and Nakatsuji (2001), Saba et al. (2003), Cwetsch et al. (2018)
