Article Synopsis
- Electric pulses of high voltage and short duration can effectively permeabilize the membranes of organelles in living cells, including endocytotic vesicles.
- In a study with B16 F1 mouse melanoma cells, exposure to 10-20 high-voltage electric pulses led to the release of lucifer yellow from vesicles, indicating successful permeabilization.
- As the number of pulses increased, not only did the endocytotic vesicle membranes become permeabilized, but the plasma membrane also showed signs of permeabilization, hinting at a threshold effect based on pulse count.
