Summary: | Disclosed is a transfection method, which includes the steps of: (a) adhering the gene fragments to dry ice particles; (b) adding the dry ice particles into the medium/liquid that contains target cells; and (c) transporting the gene fragments into the target cells via the micro explosion/sublimation of the dry ice particles. In addition, the gene fragments can also adhere first to nanoparticles, which can then adhere to dry ice particles. Subsequently, gene fragments enter cells by micro explosion/sublimation. The present invention can be applied in transgenic research on prokaryotic, eukaryotic, plant and animal cells and in the development of new species in agriculture. |
