Abstract

The expression of some vector molecules encoding the synthesis of bacterial p-galactosidase in mouse liver hepatocytes 24 h after direct injection has been investigated. The advantages of immunofluorescence method with the microcytophotometry for rapid test of gene expression at the cell level are discussed.
