INTRACELLULAR DELIVERY OF COMPLEXES
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for delivering a complex of two or more molecules into a cell, the method comprising passing a cell suspension through a constriction, wherein said constriction deforms the cell, thereby causing a perturbation of the cell such that the complex of molecules enters the cell, wherein said cell suspension is contacted with the complex of molecules.
