Abstract Analysis of specific gene expression in single living cells may become an important technique for cell biology. So far no method has been available to detect mRNA in living cells without killing or destroying them. We have developed here a novel method to examine gene expression of living cells using an atomic force microscope AFM . AFM tip was inserted into living cells to extract mRNAs. The obtained mRNAs were analyzed with RT-PCR nested PCR and quantitative PCR. This method enabled us to examine time-dependent gene expression of single living cells without serious damage to the cells. Background The properties of individual cells depend on molecules that constitute them. The different combinations of protein expression result in structural and functional changes of individual cells. Although most of these events depend on differences in gene expression no method is available to examine time dependent gene expression of individual living cells. There are other methods to analyze mRNA from single cells. For example the cellular .
