| Abstract
|
:
|
This volume reviews the use of all the viral vectors that are currently the most useful for expression of foreign genes in mammalian and insect cells. This includes baculovirus, adenovirus, vaccinia virus, and retrovirus vectors. In addition, two relatively new kinds of viral vectors are covered: Epstein-Barr virus plasmid vectors and Adeno-associated virus vectors. Each chapter contains a brief survey of the biology of the virus family, a discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of the vectors derived from that particular viral genome, as well as a review of the purposes for which the vector has been used thus far.
