DNA Transfer To Cultured Cells

DNA Transfer to Cultured Cells describes updated methods and applications for transferring genetic material to cells in-vitro. Advances achieved in recent years to develop approaches for introducing DNA into cells have facilitated studies on the mechanism of expression of different important genes in the cells. Consequently, it has been possible to evaluate the role of different genes and their activation in a variety of important processes, such as growth and uncontrolled proliferation (cancer). Different cell types require different schemes for DNA transfer, this book describes these diverse methods, their application to specific cell types and their relevance to a biological problem.
