Image patterned molecular delivery into live cells using gold particle coated substrates
نویسندگان
چکیده
An image-patterned molecular delivery system for mammalian cells is demonstrated by pulsed laser irradiation of gold particles immobilized on a substrate below a cell monolayer. Patterned cavitation bubble nucleation was captured using a time-resolved imaging system and molecular delivery verified by observing the uptake of a membrane-impermeable fluorescent dye, calcein. Delivery efficiency as high as 90% was observed and multiplexed, patterned dye delivery was demonstrated.

Molecular Delivery into Live Cells with Light Image Patterns and a Gold Particle Coated Substrate
We present a method for permeabilizing cells using a disposable substrate coated with gold nanoparticles. Upon laser irradiation, the unique photothermal properties of the gold nanoparticles facilitate selective permeabilization of the cellular membrane using patterned laser images. The permeabilization of the cell membrane is characterized by intercalation of fluorescent Calcein dye.
متن کاملBiolistic co-transformation of rice using gold nanoparticles
ABSTRACT- In order to produce transgenic rice lines lacking selectable marker gene, biolistic co-transformation technique using gold nanoparticles was adopted. In the first step, the efficiency of different sizes of gold particles was evaluated. The results showed that the efficiency of the nanoparticles in the transformation was comparable to that of the micro particles. Subsequently, two sepa...
متن کاملPatterned networks of mouse hippocampal neurons on peptide-coated gold surfaces.
Patterned networks of hippocampal neurons were generated on peptide-coated gold substrates prepared by microscope projection photolithography and microcontact printing. A 19 amino acid peptide fragment of laminin A (PA22-2) that includes the IKVAV cell adhesion domain was used to direct patterns of cell adhesion in primary culture. Microscale grid patterns of peptide were deposited on gold-coat...
متن کاملSurface Attachment of Gold Nanoparticles Guided by Block Copolymer Micellar Films and Its Application in Silicon Etching
Patterning metallic nanoparticles on substrate surfaces is important in a number of applications. However, it remains challenging to fabricate such patterned nanoparticles with easily controlled structural parameters, including particle sizes and densities, from simple methods. We report on a new route to directly pattern pre-formed gold nanoparticles with different diameters on block copolymer...
