title: TAT-mediated protein transduction: delivering biologically active proteins to the heart.
abstract: TAT protein transduction is a novel method of delivering biologically active proteins into cells and tissues through the fusion of a protein transduction domain to the protein of interest. The present chapter outlines the methodology pertaining to the preparation of TAT-fusion proteins and how to efficiently transduce these proteins into cultured cells or isolated rat hearts perfused in Langendorff mode.
