Description
Electroporation is an efficient method to introduce macromolecules such as DNA into a wide variety of cells. Electrofusion results in
the fusion of cells and can be used to produce genetic hybrids or hybridoma cells.
Guide to Electroporation and Electrofusion
is designed to serve the needs of students, experienced researchers, and newcomers to the field. It is a comprehensive manual that presents,
in one source, up-to-date, easy-to-follow protocols necessary for efficient electroporation and electrofusion of bacteria, yeast, and
plant and animal cells, as well as background information to help users optimize their results through comprehension of the principles
behind these techniques.
Audience:
Researchers in molecular and cell biology, biotechnology, microbiology, immunology, plant molecular biology, biochemistry, biophysics, and developmental biology.
