Introducing Genes into Mammalian Cells: Viral Vectors

Abstract

Over the years, many different viral vector systems have been developed to take advantage of the specific biological properties and tropisms of a large number of mammalian viruses. As a result, researchers wanting to introduce and/or express genes in mammalian cells have many options, as discussed here.
