Immunohistochemistry has long been a cornerstone technique in biomedical research, but there have been major new developments in recent years, including a growing trend towards automation and high throughput technology. These new techniques, often coupled with some of the established methodology, have seen an expanding range of applications. Immunohistochemistry: Methods Express is a comprehensive research guide that describes both the key new techniques and more established methods. Every chapter discusses the merits and limitations of the various approaches and then provides selected tried-and-tested protocols, as well as a plethora of good practical advice, for immediate use at the bench. This book is an essential laboratory manual for all life science researchers who use immunochemistry. It is a book which both experienced researchers and those new to the field will find invaluable.

Cell Imaging: Methods Express

This book covers the key techniques that can be employed in any lab with access to cell imaging equipment, even if it does not currently specialize in imaging. It focuses on live cell imaging and light microscopy applications, but is equally relevant to the imaging of fixed specimens.

The New GP Survival Guide is an up-to-date resource tool for all GPs new to UK primary care. The book is written in a practical style to help the reader through their daily life as a GP. The book is aimed primarily at the GP Registrar but also contains information for family doctors from abroad looking to work in the UK and doctors returning to general practice after a break.

Many students now start life and medical science degrees lacking some of the core background knowledge which underpins their studies. Catch Up books are written to bring these students up to speed quickly and easily, enabling them to better understand, and follow, their university courses. The books are presented in an easy-to-use format with a wealth of examples relevant to biology and medicine. Written in a simple, clear and logical manner, they help the reader get to grips with the subject quickly and easily. The books are now widely recommended on undergraduate courses in the life, medical and biomedical sciences and Catch Up Maths &amp; Stats has also found favour with PhD students, researchers and academics who need a quick primer in the subject.

Proteomics: Methods Express identifies the most powerful new technologies and presents them in a way that allows their robust implementation. The focus is on proteomic methods and strategies that are reliable and of general applicability. Each chapter presents descriptions of what can, and cannot, be achieved with the relevant procedures so that readers can make informed judgments prior to establishing the methods in-house. Every chapter discusses the merits and limitations of various approaches then provides tried-and-tested protocols with hints and tips for success and troubleshooting for when things go wrong.

Bioinformatics: Methods Express is unique. It is a book on bioinformatics that makes sense to non-bioinformaticians. Bioinformatics: Methods Express helps you answer common questions such as: •what else is similar to my gene? •does this protein have any transmembrane regions? •how do I visualize an alignment between these DNAs? •where can I find specific transcription factor sequences? The book provides the clear advice and explicit protocols that non-bioinformaticians need in order to understand what to do - and how to avoid common pitfalls. Each chapter guides you through the major databases and tools with worked examples - all accompanied by sample data files available online. Topics covered include: •data access •sequence searches and alignments •identification and annotation of features •the transcriptome •protein structure and function •comparisons and phylogeny Bioinformatics: Methods Express is a comprehensive manual for all wet-bench scientists who need to use bioinformatics - from postgraduate student to principal investigator. www.scionpublishing.com/bioinformatics contains comprehensive datasets which allow the reader to practise the techniques described in the book.
