There is a paper by Spiller & Tidd 1995 (Antisense research and
development) which describes the methodology. We tried it a couple of
times and it seems to work OK thuogh you do need to be careful to get the
enzyme concentration right

too much destroys cells and too little will not permeabilise enough
