DNA cloning techniques have made their impact to most areas of biological research. This is the fourth and last volume in this set, offering a complete update and extension into new areas of David Glover's original DNA Cloning volumes. This volume describes a variety of techniques for genetic manipulation of mammalian cells. Topics covered include construction of Vaccinia virus recombinants, retroviral vectors, production of transgenic animals, expression using the
HSV-1 vector system, and adenovirus vectors. The information presented is an up-to-date account of each research area by established researchers. The book includes detailed laboratory protocols, advice, hints and tips, example data, key literature citations, background information, and
troubleshooting comments.

This new 4-part companion volume set of Practical Approach titles aims to cover the major techniques required by all modern molecular biology laboratories.
