Overview

At the time of the lightbulb's invention, not even the most imaginative thinkers could have predicted the prevention and treatment of disease through genes delivered by electric fields. In Electroporation Protocols: Preclinicaland Clinical Gene Medicine, top researchers provide hands-on protocols describing the process of non-viral delivery of genetic materials such as DNA, oligo-DNA, and RNA into targeted immune cells, tissues, and model animals in order to better treat disease. Following the successful Methods in Molecular Biology™ series format, each method and protocol offers step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory instructions, with the benefit of several introductory reviews to aid investigators new to this exciting technology.
