Abstract

Electroporation has been a widely used tool to introduce DNA plasmids or RNA oligos into cultured cells and recently in vivo into chick or mouse embryos. Here we report a rapid and efficient approach to transfect adult mouse dorsal root ganglion neurons in vivo with precise spatiotemporal control via electroporation. This approach will allow both gain-and loss-of-function experiments in vivo to study the function of adult sensory neurons, such as sensory axon regeneration.
