title: Gene expression in Xenopus oocytes.
abstract: 1. Gene expression in Xenopus oocytes is now an integral part of many molecular cloning strategies. 2. For some genes, such as those encoding the ion channels, this system has emerged as the only available means to authenticate and examine the biological activities of the cloned DNA. 3. This review discusses some of the current applications of Xenopus oocytes in modern molecular biology.
