E.Coli Gene Expression Protocols

E. coli Gene Expression Protocols (Methods in Molecular Biology)
by Peter E. Vaillancourt

Product Details
Hardcover: 347 pages
Publisher: Humana Press; 1st edition (October 15, 2002)
Language: English
ISBN: 1588290085

Book Info
Applied Molecular Evolution, San Diego, CA. Provides a state-of-the-art collection of tested methods for this gene expression technology and offers researchers tools for success in the emerging fields of functional genomics and proteomics.

First Sentence:
Rapid transfer of exponentially growing E. coli cultures from physiological to low temperatures (10-15 C) has profound consequences on cell physiology: membrane fluidity decreases, which interferes with transport and secretion, the secondary structures of nucleic acids are stabilized, which affect the efficiencies of mRNA transcription/translation and DNA replication, and free ribosomal sub-units and 70S particles accumulate at the expense of polysomes, negatively impacting translation of most cellular mRNAs.

Molecular cloning: A laboratory manual (Tom Maniatis)

Molecular cloning: A laboratory manual
by Tom Maniatis

Book Description
The first two editions of this manual have been mainstays of molecular biology for nearly twenty years, with an unrivalled reputation for reliability, accuracy, and clarity.
In this new edition, authors Joe Sambrook and David Russell have completely updated the book, revising every protocol and adding a mass of new material, to broaden its scope and maintain its unbeatable value for studies in genetics, molecular cell biology, developmental biology, microbiology, neuroscience, and immunology.

Handsomely redesigned and presented in new bindings of proven durability, this three-volume work is essential for everyone using today’s biomolecular techniques.

The opening chapters describe essential techniques, some well-established, some new, that are used every day in the best laboratories for isolating, analyzing and cloning DNA molecules, both large and small.

These are followed by chapters on cDNA cloning and exon trapping, amplification of DNA, generation and use of nucleic acid probes, mutagenesis, and DNA sequencing.

The concluding chapters deal with methods to screen expression libraries, express cloned genes in both prokaryotes and eukaryotic cells, analyze transcripts and proteins, and detect protein-protein interactions.

The Appendix is a compendium of reagents, vectors, media, technical suppliers, kits, electronic resources and other essential information.

As in earlier editions, this is the only manual that explains how to achieve success in cloning and provides a wealth of information about why techniques work, how they were first developed, and how they have evolved.

DNA damage: a trigger of innate immunity but a requirement for adaptive immune homeostasis
Yang Xu
This article provides an overview of the mechanisms by which eukaryotic cells sense and respond to chromosomal double-stranded DNA breaks and describes the importance of this response for the development of lymphocytes and the development of effective innate and adaptive immune responses.

MHC class II proteins and disease: a structural perspective
E. Yvonne Jones, Lars Fugger, Jack L. Strominger and Christian Siebold
MHC class II molecules are important factors that contribute to the susceptibility of an individual to autoimmune disease. Jones and colleagues look for clues to their involvement in disease by analysing crystal structures of peptide–MHC-class II complexes.

ITAM-mediated tonic signalling through pre-BCR and BCR complexes
John G. Monroe
This Review describes how tonic signalling — ligand-independent signalling from Ig–Ig-containing receptors, such as the pre-B-cell receptor (pre-BCR) and BCR — differs from ligand-dependent signalling and then outlines recent advances in our understanding of how tonic signalling is initiated and regulated.

Regulatory T cells, tumour immunity and immunotherapy
Weiping Zou
Regulatory T cells have a role in suppressing immune responses against tumours. Here, Weiping Zou reviews the nature of these cells, how they affect current therapeutic protocols and the ways in which their effects can be modified to improve antitumour immunity.

Caspases at the crossroads of immune-cell life and death
Richard M. Siegel
The caspase family has traditionally been divided into two groups: those involved in regulating apoptosis and those involved in regulating inflammation. However, as discussed in this Review, recent data indicate that capases can also regulate immune-cell development, activation and differentiation.

Neural regulation of innate immunity: a coordinated nonspecific host response to pathogens
Esther M. Sternberg
Evidence for crosstalk between the central nervous system and innate immune cells is accumulating. As discussed by Esther Sternberg, neural factors that first amplify and then temper pro-inflammatory responses have a crucial role in pathogen defence and in preventing toxic shock.

Diversification of T-helper-cell lineages: finding the family root of IL-17-producing cells
Chen Dong
Chen Dong proposes that the recently identified subset of CD4+ T cells that produce interleukin-17 represent a distinct lineage of inflammatory T helper (TH) cells that develop independently of the cytokines and transcription factors that regulate TH1- and TH2-cell differentiation.

Cancer despite immunosurveillance: immunoselection and immunosubversion
Laurence Zitvogel, Antoine Tesniere and Guido Kroemer
Although there are numerous immune mechanisms that destroy cancer precursors, the selection of tumour cells that are poorly immunogenic and that can subvert the immune response is crucial to the development of cancer. How these processes are linked is discussed in this Review.

Receptor editing in lymphocyte development and central tolerance
David Nemazee
This Review article discusses the importance of secondary gene rearrangements in the alteration of antigen-receptor specificity by B cells and T cells, and describes how this process is facilitated by the different genomic organization of the loci that encode the two antigen-receptor chains.

Competence and competition: the challenge of becoming a long-lived plasma cell
Andreas Radbruch, Gwendolin Muehlinghaus, Elke O. Luger, Ayako Inamine, Kenneth G. C. Smith, Thomas Dörner and Falk Hiepe
How does the immune system remember? The elegant system by which plasmablasts specific for 'new' pathogens compete with plasma cells specific for 'old' pathogens to gain access to survival niches ensures that the humoral immune system adapts to newly encountered antigens but does not forget those previously encountered.

Reciprocal regulation between natural killer cells and autoreactive T cells
Fu-Dong Shi and Luc Van Kaer
An appreciation of the crosstalk between cells of the innate and the adaptive immune system is increasingly important for understanding both health and disease. As highlighted here, reciprocal regulation between natural killer cells and autoreactive T cells can influence all stages of autoimmune disease.

Immunological mechanisms of allergen-specific immunotherapy
Mark Larché, Cezmi A. Akdis and Rudolf Valenta
Allergen-specific immunotherapy can ameliorate the symptoms of allergic diseases and has shown long-lasting benefits. Recent work discussed in this Review indicates that the beneficial effects result from immunomodulation, including a switch to IgG responses and induction of regulatory T cells.

Adipocytokines: mediators linking adipose tissue, inflammation and immunity
Herbert Tilg and Alexander R. Moschen
Adipose tissue produces several inflammatory mediators, including the adipocytokines adiponectin, leptin and resistin. Here, recent advances in our understanding of the role of these adipocytokines in inflammation and immunity are discussed, highlighting the importance of these mediators in obesity-associated diseases.

B-cell memory: are subsets necessary?
David Tarlinton
In this Opinion article, a new model for the generation and the maintenance of memory B cells is proposed. The model involves these cells being continuously produced by the germinal centre throughout an immune response, with B cells that are produced later in the response being fitter and therefore having a survival advantage.

The book's purpose is to explain from the development of life on earth to the evolution of diversity. It is this diversity that led, almost automatically to the development of pathogens and predators. The relationship of pathogens and host lead to the development of antibiotics and resistance mechanism. Man has extended this process and we now have a situation in which new antibiotics only are effective for a short time. If we are to create long term antibiotics we must design them with this history in mind.Understanding antibiotic chemotherapy at the ecological level is necessary for more permanent advances in development and in the usage of antibiotic agents both old, new, and in the future.

Microbiological Contamination Control in Pharmaceutical Clean Rooms

Contamination control in pharmaceutical clean rooms has developed from a jumble of science and engineering, knowledge of what has worked well or badly in the past, dependent upon the technology available at the time the clean room was built and subsequent technological developments. Surrounding it all is a blanket of regulations. Taking a multidisciplinary approach, Microbiological Contamination Control for Pharmaceutical Clean Rooms neatly clarifies some of the perceived problems surrounding contamination control in pharmaceuticalindustry clean rooms

Timebomb: The Global Epidemic of Multi-Drug Resistant Tuberculosis

Tuberculosis, once a romantic 19th-century disease, has returned, reaching epidemic proportions worldwide. One only need remember New York City's 1991 epidemic. Over one-third of the world's population has latent tuberculosis; 15 million Americans are infected with this highly contagious, airborne respiratory disease. TB chooses hosts indiscriminately; average middle-class Americans are not immune, say the authors. Reichman (professor of medicine at the New Jersey Medical School and director of its National Tuberculosis Center), with medical writer Tanne, discusses a virulent strain, multi-drug resistant tuberculosis, or MDR-TB. This hard to treat, if not incurable, incarnation is believed to have entered the U.S. via immigrants often from the former Soviet Union, designated a TB epicenter by the World Health Organization. Reichman often undermines his warnings by lapsing into shrill xenophobia. "Just think how many legal and illegal immigrants from these countries are now in Western countries! And just think, in our global society, how many more are contemplating coming!" Stereotypes run the gamut: in an airport he observes "well-tailored, trim" French people "equipped with cell-phones and lap-tops," "culture crammed and shopped out" Americans, and a group of "shabby" Ukrainians. In the early 20th-century, the Irish, often living five to one room, worsened their condition with malnourishment and alcoholism. Despite these noxious problems, the book serves an important function, relaying statistics and TB hot spots, proposing funding and international standardized treatments. Government officials, researchers and nonprofit health organizations will likely cast this as the authoritative book on the subject. (Oct. 5)Forecast: Endorsements by the Global Health Council, several congressmen, the American Lung Association and former Secretary of Health Donna Shalala and MDR-TB's worldwide headlines will win the book ample media attention.

Summary:Vaccines: Preventing Disease and Protecting Health celebrates the various ways vaccines have played a role in improving the health of the world's populations. In early sections, the book relates successful efforts to fight disease with vaccines, including the eradication of polio from the Americas and the potential contribution of new measles vaccine formulations to reducing measles mortality worldwide. It also looks at the challenges posed in using vaccines to cope with emerging and re-emerging diseases, such as HIV/AIDS and bioterrorism. In subsequent sections, the authors examine innovative efforts underway to test the efficacy of vaccines against diseases such as meningococcal infection in Africa, Haemophilus influenza type b, varicella, and hepatitis A, and look at efforts to develop a new generation of vaccines against cholera and typhoid, shigella, and Helicobacter pylori. The advances in influenza vaccine development and Hepatitis C are also presented. The book includes sections on the quest for vaccines against tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, dengue, malaria, and hookworm. New concepts for vaccine development, adjuvants and delivery systems such as maternal immunization, DNA vaccines, and oral vaccines derived from transgenic plants are also discussed. Later sections deal with the use of vaccines against potential bioterrorism attacks, with a particular emphasis on smallpox and anthrax. Regulatory and safety issues related to vaccines are also presented from the various perspectives of the public sector, the pharmaceutical industry, and the vaccine consumer. The final chapter highlights the ongoing challenges of vaccine development, disease prevention, internal and external financing and sustainability of immunization programs, and the impact of health sector reform on these issues. Dr. Ciro A. de Quadros, the book's technical editor, also contributed significant chapters to the book. The roster of authors reads like a "Who's Who" in public health and in vaccine development and use. These men and women are the best scientists in their fields. They are breaking new ground in vaccines and immunization programs, bringing the promise of health to the world's populations.

It's easy to read, easy to understand, very good graphics; Kuby is a very friendly book for new students, and for refreshing many concepts if you are very busy (and I bet you are!). I love it. But if you have more time available for reading, I would recommend Fundamental Immunology (Paul) and Cellular and Molecular Immunology by Abbas. Anyway, never trust in just one book. And try to keep up-to-date with new material on scientific magazines. See, in research you don't depend on books, that's only at the beginning or if you have to refresh some concepts. Once you have your knowledge, you will be reading papers on scientific magazines and less books. Many times, the concepts you have learned on books can change very fast. Science is a dynamic field, always changing. Always remember that. I wish you good luck in your career!
