To study the effect of protein interactions in vivo upon cellular functions,such complexes may be disrupted through the introduction of peptides corresponding to the proteins' points of contact. In this communication a simple, rapid and reproducible procedure for peptide introduction into adherent cells by electroporation is described. Cells are grown on electrically conductive, optically transparent indium-tin oxide at the time of pulse delivery. Several electrode and slide configurations, necessary to obtain non-electroporated cells adjacent to the electroporated ones as a control, are outlined. Careful control of electric field strength achieved the introduction of the peptide into essentially 100% of the cells while this treatment caused no detectable disruption of their division cycle.
