3. Gene Delivery and Expression Series Viral Vector Mediated Gene Delivery and Expression (4)

Abstract

Viral vectors are powerful tools for gene delivery and expression both in vitro and in vivo. Recently, many types of viral vectors have become commercially available and are easily used. It is important to choose appropriate viral vectors according to target cells and organs. In this technical note, we describe the characteristics of viral vectors and how to choose the appropriate viral vector to transduce target cells in vitro.
