Advances in Immunology, a long-established and highly respected publication, presents current developments as well as comprehensive reviews in immunology.
The formulation and the technological advancements in RNA biology, chemistry, stability, and encapsulated delivery systems that have enabled the development of fully synthetic mRNA vaccines are discussed in this volume.
Part I covers modern advances in the determination ofglycoprotein structure and in the biosynthesis of mammalian,bacterial, yeast, plant and insect glycoproteins.
Interest in the factors controlling the spread of pathogenic bacteria in both human and animal populations has led, in recent years, to the development of various techniques for the characterization of isolates from epidemics.
Video microscopy is used extensively in many life and biomedical science disciplines today, and is a useful tool for both cell biologists and students.
This newest edition to the Laboratory Techniques Series gives current state of the art use of synthetic peptides in molecular biology and practical protocols on how to conjugate peptides, immunize animals with peptides and monitor immune responses to peptides in vitro.
Synthetic Polypeptides as Antigens is the first volume to give a comprehensive treatment under one cover of the various techniques used for synthesizing peptides by the solid phase approach, for coupling them to carrier molecules and analyzing their immunochemical activity by a variety of immunoassays.
Our most complete understanding of hormone receptor signaling may be exemplified in a family of hormones and receptors known as the cytokine superfamily.
