Recombinant viruses provide an efficient mechanism for the transfer and expression of DNA in eukaryotic cells. First, the transfer of DNA by viral infection-utilizing specific cell surface receptors and cellular intern- ization mechanisms-occurs much more readily than DNA transfer via uptake induced by such physical methods as calcium phosphate coprecipitation or electroporation. Second, the novel strategies employed by the virus to express its own genes can then be "hijacked" in the recombinant virus to express the researcher's gene of interest The purpose of Practical Molecular Virology isthus to compile a coll- tion of readily repeatable gene transfer and expression methods ...

Reviews for Practical Molecular Virology
I found the writing style uniformly clear and straightforward throughout....I noticed the well-organized, parallel structure of most chapters, which made them easy to follow and gave evidence of some rather careful editing. Practical Molecular Virology provides a concise, well-organized, well-written...selective overview of eukaryotic viral vectors. As an entry-level text, it surely will assist those wishing to use such vectors ... Read more
