Amyloid Proteins: Methods and Protocols

Sigurdsson (psychiatry and pathology, New York University School of Medicine) presents in vitro assays, cell culture models and assays for the production of amyloid proteins, and protocols for amyloid extraction from tissue, its detection in vitro and in vivo, and non-transgenic methods for developing amyloid mouse models. Most chapters include step-by-step instructions for performing procedures, background information, and lists of equipment reagents. However, certain chapters focus more on general principles and theoretical issues of a particular method. Biochemists, molecular biologists, and experimental gerontologists will use the book.
