Visualization of Receptors: Methods in Light and Electron Microscopy

A multiplicity of methods for visualization are described in Visualization of Receptors: Methods in Light and Electron Microscopy. This book of techniques covers immunocytology, radioautography, in situ hybridization, plasmon resonance, RT in vitro PCR, and X-ray crystal structure analysis. Lecturers, researchers, practitioners, technicians, and students will find all the principles and protocols they require--and the means of implementing them. Topics discussed include: localization of ligands (in vitro or in vivo); visualization of immunoreactivities of ligand and receptor proteins; detection and quantification of mRNA expression; amplification of signals; determination of 3-D structure. Details of protocols with illustrations of results and commentaries are provided throughout the book.
