Gene Transfer and Expression

Bol Partner

This book is a catalogue of viral and cis-acting elements and expression vectors for obtaining optimum expression of foreign genes introduced into mammalian cells. It describes techniques for propagating cells and cell lines, DNA transfer, drug selection and gene amplification, expression cloning, retro-virus mediated gene transfer.

Bol

A practical manual of protocols for achieving expression of foreign genes in mammalian cells. It includes some very new techniques such as PCR-based expression. The author gives a theoretical introduction to the protocols and compares the strengths and weaknesses.
