Laboratory Techniques in Renal Cell and Molecular Biology

Description

Research on renal diseases is progressing at a rapid pace, bringing with it a major change in the research techniques used: There has been a shift from urine and blood analysis or histological examinations by light microscopy to immunohistochemical assays at the protein levels, and studies are now being performed at the molecular and gene levels. Keeping up with this rapid development in the field of new molecular biology techniques is not always easy. It is exactly at this point that the book at hand comes into the picture: Meant as a research manual, it provides a concise outline of the objectives, principles and procedures of the tests currently available. Each step is meticulously described, guiding the researcher through the different stages of an assay. One of the special features of this publication is the list of pitfalls which researchers, in particular those just starting out in this field, might face. As the research pursued at present covers a wide range of topics, specialists in each field were asked to contribute to the corresponding sections. This book has been especially written for specialists in the fields of nephrology, urology, pediatrics, immunology and pathology who are new to research on kidney disease.
