Critically acclaimed for more than 25 years, the Methods in Cell Biology series provides an indispensable tool for the researcher. Each volume is carefully edited by experts to contain state-of-the-art reviews and step-by-step protocols. Techniques are described completely so that methods are made accessible to users.

• Describes both well-established and novel recombinant vector systems for expression of proteins
• Presents methods for efficient delivery of recombinant genes into differentiated cells, tissues, and whole animals
• Covers high-level and inducible systems, plus assays for protein expression
• Provides beginning and advanced investigators and students with the information they need to choose the optimal viral or plasmid system for their protein
• Practical, benchtop-style presentation works in lab and in the classroom

Researchers, students, and technicians in cell and developmental biology, biotechnology, and biochemistry, genetics and molecular biology, virology, neurobiology, pharmacology, and most other areas of biomedical research.
