Mammalian Chromosome EngineeringMethods and Protocols

The rapid progression of genetics and molecular biology has turned chromosomal engineering from science fiction to reality, with the successful production of transgenic animals with engineered chromosomes and chromosomes developed for pharmaceutical protein production which are now ready for the medical industry. Mammalian Chromosome Engineering: Methods and Protocols provides the reader with up-to date information on this rapidly evolving field and strives to take the reader into the exciting realm of chromosomal engineering from the basic principles to the prac-tical applications of these new technologies. The five overview and ten protocol chapters cover the engineering of chromosomes with extrachromo-somal vectors and transposon systems, the manipu-lation of naturally occurred minichromosomes, the generation and engineering of synthetic artificial chromosomes, and the induced de novo platform artificial chromosome system.

Chapters include “Jenner and the Vaccination against Smallpox,” “Viral Vaccines,” and “Ethical and Social Aspects of vaccines.” Contributing authors include pioneers in the field, such as Samuel L. Katz and Hilary Koprowski. This history of vaccines is relatively short and many of its protagonists are still alive. This book was written by some of the chief actors in the drama.
