Hippocampal neurons from E17 mice were transfected by nucleofection with an EYFP-tubulin construct. Neurite outgrowth was analyzed by fluorescence microscopy for 45 minutes at 1 image every 5 seconds showing that neurite outgrowth was not impaired by nucleofection. Nucleofected neurons display normal neurite outgrowth.
