The book gives information on the technique’s principles, the required equipment, preparation of receiving cells and injected material, analysis of the results, and then provides detailed protocols for a wide range of important applications in different cellular systems. Because of its outstanding relevance in cell biology a large part of the book is dedicated to the Xenopus laevis oocyte system.
