The invention discloses a method for transfecting an exogenous
nucleic acid by use of
atmospheric pressure cold
plasma jet and belongs to the technical field of
biology. The method comprises the following steps: 1) counting to-be-transfected cells, planting the cells in a porous
cell culture plate, and adding a culture solution to obtain a to-be-transfected
cell solution; 2) adjusting a
plasma jet source device, introducing a basic gas, applying sinusoidal
high voltage after the gas flow is stable, and keeping the
voltage constant until bluish violet
plasma jet is blown out from the bottom of a
quartz tube; 3) treating the to-be-transfected cells for 5-60 seconds directly under the
plasma jet source, moving away the cells and adding the to-be-transfected exogenous
nucleic acid, mixing evenly and then putting the
mixed solution back into an
incubator for continuous culture. The method for transfecting the exogenous
nucleic acid by use of the
atmospheric pressure cold
plasma jet is capable of conveniently transfecting the exogenous nucleic acid; after
transfection, the
cell mortality rate is relatively lower than those of methods by use of lipidosome, electrotransfection and the like. Besides, the
transfection time is very short and the
transfection can be completed within dozens of seconds.
