Delayed poration after ultrashort electric pulses on Jurkat cell

Electrical properties of cancer cells have been studied widely to understand cancer. The increase in electrical conductivity of Jurkat cell suspension after ultrashort electric pulses has been considered as an important phenomenon of the interaction between pulsed electric field and cancer cells. Experimental evidence showed that such an interaction may result in delayed poration. In this paper an attempt has been made to find probability distribution function of poration after ultrashort electric pulses. The conductivity data collected from nanosecond pulse electroporation of Jurkat cancer cells is analysed to form a probability distribution function for pore formation after nanosecond electric field pulse. It has been found that the parameter in the function depends on pulse characteristics such as pulse magnitude, pulse width and number of pulses
