Synopsis

Cytokine Molecular Biology concentrates on molecular biology techniques for the study of cytokines, cytokine receptors, and cytokine driven processes. Updated topics from the previous edition are: the cloning and expressing cytokine genes; the detection of cytokine mRNA; receptor binding studies; the PC-specific phosphslipase C and sphingomylinases. In addition, new topics covered are the purification, sequencing, and synthesis of cytokines; studying cytokine gene polymorphisms; the use of proteomics in cytokine research; and the Jak/STAT and MAPK signalling pathways. Written by experts in the field, Cytokine Molecular Biology and Cytokine Cellular Biology form a comprehensive and essential guide to cytokine research.

Review:

"This book is the latest in the series on 'Frontiers in Molecular Biology', which aims to review the subjects and provide up to date commentary on the latest research. . .I did enjoy reading the book; it is well written with up to date references throughout. Diagrams are not superfluous; they and tables are used effectively as an addition to and to clarify the text. Overall, I would recommend the book to those that want a comprehensive look into the detailed interactions of cytokines and especially in the role they may play in disease."--Immunology News
