Femtosecond-pulsed laser irradiation was found to initiate giant plasma membrane vesicle (GPMV) formation on individual cells. Laser-induced GPMV formation resulted from intracellular cavitation and did not require the addition of chemical stressors to the cellular environment. The viscosity, structure, and contents of laser-induced GPMVs were measured with fluorescence microscopy and single-particle tracking. These GPMVs exhibit the following properties: (1) GPMVs grow fastest immediately after laser irradiation; (2) GPMVs contain barriers to free diffusion of incorporated fluorescent beads; (3) materials from both the cytoplasm and surrounding media flow into the growing GPMVs; (4) the GPMVs are surrounded by phospholipids, including phosphatidylserine; (5) F-actin is incorporated into the vesicles; and (6) caspase activity is not essential for GPMV formation. The effective viscosity of 65 nm polystyrene nanoparticles within GPMVs ranged from 32 to 434 cP. The nanoparticle diffusion was commonly affected by relatively large, macromolecular structures within the bleb.
