{PDF} Adenovirus Methods and Protocols Ann E. Tollefson, Terry W. Hermiston (auth.), William S. M. Wold (eds.)

In Adenovirus Methods and Protocols, William S.M. Wold has organized a collection of readily reproducible methods for conducting research with adenoviruses, the premier and most widely used model in cell and molecular biology. The methods range from how to grow and titer adenoviruses and how to construct specific alterations in the adenovirus genome, to how to measure apoptosis induced by cells of the immune system, cytokines, and intrinsic apoptosis effectors. In addition, there are methods to study transcription and splicing with in vitro systems and for the adenovirus-mediated transformation of cells to a malignant state. Each method is written by a prominent investigator well-versed in the technique and includes a brief background discussion, as well as tried and true step-by-step instructions.

Adenovirus Methods and Protocols will be useful to both entry-level and senior scientists seeking to enter the adenovirus field, to researchers from other areas wishing to construct adenovirus vectors for their own research, and to adenovirologists wanting to enter new sectors of research. Its cutting-edge techniques are certain to make it today’s reference of choice, one from which even expert researchers will learn many productive and time-saving techniques.
