Paper Abstract
Investigation on the interaction of small particles, e.g. gold nanoparticles with light is a current field of high interest. As
light can be absorbed, enhanced or scattered by the nanoparticles a wide variety of possible applications become
possible. If the electrons of such a nanoparticles oscillate with the incident light, plasmon resonances occur. Provided
that these particles are brought very close to a cell, the cell membrane gets perforated due to the laser induced effect. We
investigate nanoparticle mediated laser perforation as an alternative technique for cell transfection. By using weakly
focussed femtosecond laser pulses, 150 nm gold particles were stimulated to perforate the cell membrane. Through the
perforated area of the membrane macromolecules e.g. DNA are able to enter the cell. By this technique GFSHR-17 rat
cells were successfully transfected with GFP vector and the dependence on laser parameters and concentration were
studied. Even after 48 hours after manipulation the transfected cells show no indications of apoptosis or necrosis. This
technique allows the transfection of cells by opto-perforation without the need of tight focusing conditions and single
cell targeting- opening the way for a wide field of applications.
