Abstract
DNA transfer technology has greatly contributed to progress in understanding molecular biology and genetics. In recent years, great efforts have been expended to determine the oncogenic potential of single, defined genes or complex gene mixtures as a prelude to defining the role those genes may play in neoplastic transformation in vitro and tumor induction in vivo. This paper reviews the currently available DNA transfection techniques and their application toward understanding cancer initiation and progression, and how the in vitro and animal models may apply to human cancer.Keywords
