Gene expression using Xenopus oocytes.
Xenopus oocytes have been used as a surrogate genetic system for the study of many facets of gene expression. Some recent salient examples where injected oocytes proved to be indispensable for the analysis of transcription, translation, RNA/protein transport, and ion channel formation are described.
