Definitions
- the present invention relates to an electrofusion microelectrode and methods of using it to manipulate cells and/or cellular components.
- Electrofusion and electroporation of cells involves application of an electrical current to the cells. In many instances, it is desirable to align cells prior to applying a direct electrical current. Alignment of cells may be carried out manually by aspiration or vacuum suction. Alignment of cells may also be performed by applying an alternate electrical current. However, when alignment is performed by applying alternate current, cell survival is drastically reduced. Therefore, it would be desirable to have a tool that has a dual capacity to manually align cells and deliver a direct electrical current.
- Cell fusion procedure involves localized reversible permeabilization of the cell membrane, which can be induced by applying a pulse or pulses of direct current (DC).
- the disadvantages can be summarized in the requirement for: i) a non-electrolyte solution that is obviously not physiological and can impair cell viability; ii) due to the large inter- electrode distance, the passage of AC pulses can induce thermal damage with consequent cell distress; iii) individual cell alignment is time-consuming; and iv) the electric chamber can be a source of pathogenic contamination due to its repetitive use.
- the present invention is directed to overcoming these and other deficiencies in the art.
- One aspect of the present invention relates to an electrofusion microelectrode made of a tube having a first proximal end and a second distal end.
- the tube has an electrically conductive coating on its exterior surface that extends continually from the first proximal end of the tube to the second distal end of the tube.
- Another aspect of the present invention relates to an electrofusion microelectrode unit containing an electrofusion microelectrode as described above and a holding tool capable of receiving the electrofusion microelectrode at the second distal end of the tube.
- a further aspect of the present invention relates to a system containing two or more electrofusion microelectrode units as described above.
- Yet another aspect of the present invention relates to a method of manipulating cells and/or cellular components. This method involves contacting a cell and/or cellular component with the first proximal end of the tube of the electrofusion microelectrode as described above. Such contacting is carried out under conditions effective to manipulate the cell and/or cellular component.
- Still another aspect of the present invention relates to a method of manipulating cells and/or cellular components. This method involves contacting a cell and/or cellular component with two or more electrofusion microelectrodes as described above. Contacting a cell and/or cellular component is carried out at the first proximal end of each microelectrode tube under conditions effective to manipulate the cell and/or cellular component.
- the present invention provides a tool having the dual capacity to manually align cells and deliver direct current to cells.
- Mammalian nuclear transfer is dedicated to a small number of cells, particularly when dealing with human oocytes. Therefore, the availability of a tool that allows individual cell alignment would be ideal.
- the use of individual microelectrodes, under micromanipulation control, permit pinpointing the desired orientation of the cell to be fused and because of the direct electrode-cell contact, can bypass the use of alternating current and the adoption of a small amount of medium.
- the omission of alternating current together with the small volume required allows the employment of a routine culture medium that can be covered with oil.
- the direct cell contact would even reduce the amount of direct current to be administered, decreasing chance of thermal damage to the cell.
- the limited cost of this microelectrode makes it disposable, thereby eliminating the chances of contamination.

- microelectrode tube 12 has a holding pipette configuration where proximal end 14 is bent.
- Tube 12 of electrofusion microelectrode 10 may be any hollow casing with various geometric conformations. Thus, if desired, the walls of tube 12 may be angled. In a preferred embodiment, tube 12 is cylindrical. Even more preferably, tube 12 has a holding pipette configuration.
- the diameter and length of tube 12 can, of course, vary. As discussed in greater detail below, the diameter and length of tube 12 will vary according to the type of cells (and/or cellular components) and the type of manipulation for which electrofusion microelectrode 10 is used.

- Holding tool 30 also has main shaft 32 and electrical insulator 38, which is position between receiving component 36 and main shaft 32, whereby electric current passing through receiving component 36 does not reach main shaft 32.
- Receiving component 36 and main shaft 32 may be constructed of the same material and, preferably, are constructed of a durable material that is electrically conductive.
- electrical insulator 38 is constructed of a material that does not conduct electricity, such as a plastic material. The electrically non-conductive properties of electrical insulator 38 prevent electric current from passing through receiving component 36 into main shaft 32. This design creates a more localized electrical effect in performing electro-manipulation procedures, discussed in greater detail below.
- the insulating properties of electrical insulator 38 also permits suction of cells into holding tool 30 with minimized cell death.

- threaded connector 44 can be fastened into opening 50, which has threaded walls matching the threads of threaded connector 44.
- This particular assembly prevents the electrically conductive material of receiving component 36 from coming into electrical contact with the electrically conductive material of main shaft 32.
- Insulating sleeve 40 is fitted over distal end 16 of tube 12 to prevent unwanted movement of tube 12 when it is positioned in holding tool 30 and to further insulate holding tool 30 when electrical current is applied to electrically conductive coating 18.
- Microelectrode 10 is positioned in holding tool 30 by sliding tube 12
- microelectrode 10 is positioned far enough into receiving component 36 for receiving component 36 to clamp down on microelectrode 10.
- first proximal end 14 of tube 12 is open ( Figures 2A and 2C) and electrofusion microelectrode unit 62 is operably connected to a vacuum or aspirator.
- the vacuum or aspirator is operably connected to microelectrode tube 12 at its distal end.
- Connection of a vacuum or aspirator to microelectrode tube 12 is preferably achieved by connection hose 46.

- electrofusion microelectrode unit 62 has electrode clip 56 attached to microelectrode tube 12 at electrically conductive coating 18. Electrode clip 56 preferably attaches to microelectrode tube 12 by clamping onto microelectrode tube 12 near orifice 34.

- the electrofusion microelectrode, unit, and system of the present invention can be used to manipulate cells and/or cellular components.
- another aspect of the present invention relates to a method of manipulating cells and/or cellular components. This method involves contacting a cell and/or cellular component with an electrofusion microelectrode of the present invention.

Thirty to 60 minutes later, the oocytes are examined for sign of fusion. The restored oocytes are then placed in culture and assessed for maturation. Oocytes which have extruded a first polar body may be fixed and stained with Giemsa for chromosome analysis. As controls, approximately one third of oocytes are not subjected to any manipulation, but are merely cultured in the same media and exposed to the same reagents.
