Using the thymidine kinase gene-containing plasmid pTK-1 and the mouse fibroblast thymidine kinase-deficient LTK- cell line, we obtained results indicating that the plasmid molecules suspended in the external medium were introduced into the nuclei by pricking cells on the nuclei with a microneedle. Approx. 25% of the cells pricked in the presence of the plasmid pTK-1 showed TK gene expression, and 2% of the cells became stable TK+ transformants. This 'pricking' method is applicable for introducing DNA into cell nuclei and is more efficient than the conventional calcium phosphate transformation method.
