The introduction of functional (usually cloned) genes into cells and organisms. A variety of techniques can be used for gene transfer: (1) cell hybridization; (2) microcell-mediated gene transfer; (3) chromosome-mediated gene transfer; (4) DNA-mediated gene transfer. Gene transfer results in genetically transformed cells and individuals and is a step in recombinant DNA technology when cloned genes are being used for transfer.

Colony Stimulating Factor 1
- mononuclear phagocyte factor (CSF) synthesized by mesenchymal cells. The compound stimulates survival, proliferation, and differentiation hematopoietic cells monocyte-series. M-CSF is a disulfide-bonded glycoprotein dimer with MW of 70 kDa. It binds to specific high affinity receptor (RECEPTOR, MACROPHAGE COLONY-STIMULATING FACTOR).
