Different transfection methods have been employed (Mulligan, 1993): a) The in vitro procedure when foreign genes are introduced into cultured cells or tissues. b) The in vivo method, when genes are directly...

This protocol is an adaptation of the transient dominant knockout selection protocol published by Falkner and Moss (1990) for use with vaccinia virus. The protocol makes use of the dominant selectable marker Escherichia coli guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (gpt) gene (Mul...
