Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus is disclosed for causing electroporation of remote cells and tissue, in vivo. The method includes directing an electrically conductive penetrator into an organism to a point which is approximate to the cells and/or tissue. An electrode is disposed at a surface of the organism, whereby a voltage applied between the electrically conductive penetrator and the electrode will cause electroporation of the cells and/or tissue. A voltage is applied between the electrically conductive penetrator and the electrode in an amount sufficient to cause electroporation of the cell or tissue. The method can also include treating remote tissue, in vivo, with a chemical agent, wherein the chemical agent is disposed in the organism in an amount sufficient to treat the cell or tissue during electroporation.
