Electroporation-induced cell lysis in SWLA-2 hybridomas

Conf Proc IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc. 2006:2006:3495-6. doi: 10.1109/IEMBS.2006.259722.

Abstract

This paper describes experimental results involving the percentage cell lysis in SWLA-2 murine hybridomas produced by square wave electric field pulses of 100, 200, and 300 V across a 1 mm gap width in a standard cuvette. Pulse lengths were of 0.2 and 0.6 ms duration; 1, 2, or 3 pulses were applied with 100 ms time interval between pulses. Cells were cultured and separate samples examined at 48 hours to determine cell mortality. Nearly 90% cell mortality was produced by applying 3 pulses at of 0.6 ms duration at 300 V.
