Cytokine Molecular Biology

This work focuses 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.
