Provides two protocols that may be used to isolate IHL. One can be used to isolate IHL from multiple livers in parallel, whereas the more elaborate alternate protocol yields more cells per liver but is more appropriately used to recover the IHL from a single liver. - [Read Isolation of Mouse Intrahepatic Lymphocytes Protocol]

Nonviral, DNA-mediated gene transfer is an alternative to viral delivery systems for expressing new genes in cells and tissues. The Sleeping Beauty (SB) transposon system combines the advantages of viruses and naked DNA molecules for gene therapy purposes; however, efficacious delivery of DNA molecules to animal tissues can still be problematic. Here we describe the hydrodynamic delivery procedure for the SB transposon system that allows efficient delivery to the liver in the mouse. - [Read Preferential Delivery of the Sleeping Beauty transposon System to Livers of Mice by Hydrodynamic i]
