T. cruzi Infection (eBook, PDF)

Methods and Protocols

Redaktion: Gómez, Karina Andrea; Buscaglia, Carlos Andrés

Beschreibung

This volume provides detailed descriptions on cutting-edge experimental methods to assess the multiple and complex interactions between T. cruzi and its host. Chapters detail a series of methods and protocols, ranging from rather classical biochemical/genetic approaches to modern, powerful and high-throughput '-omics' technologies, to tackle this issue, as well as novel techniques to improve treatment and clinical evaluation of Chagasic patients. Genome-wide mining strategies aimed at identifying potential parasite antigens and vaccine candidates and an overview on the challenges and milestones encountered during T. cruzi genome assembly are also included. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Authoritative and cutting-edge, T. cruzi Infection: Methods and Protocols aims to provide students, researchers, and clinicians who are interested in the study of Chagas disease an indispensable source of information.

Rezensionen

"The book is written for students, active researchers, and clinicians. ... This book comprehensively covers the experimental methods for the study of the biology of T. cruzi and its complex interactions with the human host. The unique feature of the book is that the variety of methods and protocols it covers. There are very few books that provide the depth of coverage this book does."
