Inhaltsangabe

Electron Microscopy Methods and Protocols is designed for the established researcher as a manual for extending knowledge of the field. It is also for the newcomer who wishes to move into the field. A wide range of applications for the examination of cells, tissues, biological macromolecules, molecular structures, and their interactions are discussed. We have tried to gather together methods that we consider to be those most generally appli- ble to current research in both cell and molecular biology. Each chapter c- tains a set of related practical protocols with examples provided by experts who have first-hand knowledge of the techniques they describe. The individual chapters are grouped according to similarities in their specimen preparation and methodology. Methods are presented in detail, in a step-by-step fashion, using reproducible protocols the authors have personally checked. During the last decade, the scientific literature describing the use of colloidal gold as an immunocytochemical marker has increased at an ex- nential rate, and this trend is expected to continue. We have included a large number of variations on the immunogold labeling technique. In both the ne- tive staining and cryo chapters, authors emphasize the “immunological app- cations” in order to correlate as fully as possible with the emphasis on immunogold labeling in the other chapters. Electron Microscopy Methods and Protocols commences with the routine preparation of biological material for classical transmission electron microscopy involving tissue fixation, embedding, and sectioning (Chap. 1).

Über diesen Titel

Von der hinteren Coverseite

In Electron Microscopy Methods and Protocols, well-practiced experts describe in detail the key electron microscopy techniques used for examining cells, tissue, biological macromolecules, molecular structure, and their interactions. With emphasis on cryotechniques for quantitative biological X-ray microanalysis, the book also includes those methods that use antibodies to locate proteins within cells and that prepare and analyze nucleic acids, proteins, and protein-nucleic acid complexes. Numerous immunogold labeling techniques for precise ultrastructural localization, distribution, and quantitation of macromolecules in cryo-fixed or chemically-fixed cells are described in sufficient detail to provide practical insight into their advantages and limitations.
Electron Microscopy Methods and Protocols offers both newcomers and established researchers wanting to expand their repertoire of cutting-edge electron microscopy techniques-each optimized for reproducibility and robust results-today's gold-standard laboratory manual.
