The present invention provides a method and apparatus for selectively destroying dividing cells in living tissue formed of dividing cells and nondividing cells. The dividing cells contain polarizable intracellular members and during late anaphase or telophase, the dividing cells are connected to one another by a cleavage furrow. According to the present method the living tissue is subjected to electric field conditions sufficient to cause movement of the polarizable intracellular members toward the cleavage furrow in response to a non-homogenous electric field being induced in the dividing cells. The non-homogenous electric field produces an increased density electric field in the …

Why it's free to use
- Filed February 16, 2001 and granted April 23, 2013. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended February 16, 2021.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by February 16, 2023.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
