What are the Limitations of Using Plasmid Vectors in Histology?
While plasmid vectors are powerful tools, they have some limitations:
Transient expression: Plasmid vectors often result in temporary gene expression, which may not be suitable for long-term studies. Limited tissue penetration: Delivering plasmid vectors to certain tissues can be challenging, particularly in complex tissue structures. Potential immune response: Introducing foreign DNA into tissues can trigger an immune response, which may affect the study results.
