Publisher's Synopsis
Recombinant systems are being increasingly used to express proteins for both basic research and production purposes. This volume reviews the different systems, the use of prokaryots, lower eukaryots, DNA- and retroviral vectors, expression in animal cells and transgenic systems. Emphasis is given to the expression of genes at the protein level. This book is of particular interest to researchers working in the fields of gene technology, molecular biology, experimental and industrial biology, and biochemistry.
