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) |
