Book Description
A broad-ranging collection of core techniques for the study of HBV and HDV infections and for the development of therapies to treat them. In this first of two volumes Detection, Genotypes, and Characterization, the authors focus on readily reproducible molecular methods for the identification and quantification of viral markers, the detection and impact of viral variants, and the study of the viral life cycle. Each fully tested protocol is described in step-by-step detail by an established expert in the field and includes a background introduction outlining the principle underlying the technique, equipment and reagent lists, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. An accompanying second volume, Immunology, Model Systems, and Clinical Studies, contains user-friendly protocols for the study of host immune responses to infection, in vitro and in vivo models of infection, and the development of antivirals.

Hepatitis C Protocols

Hepatitis C Protocols (Methods in Molecular Medicine)
by Johnson Y. N. Lau (Editor)

Product Details:
* Hardcover: 648 pages
* Publisher: Humana Press; 1 edition (September 18, 1998)
* Language: English
* ISBN-10: 0896035212

Book Description:
Johnson Lau and his expert collaborators present cutting-edge techniques for study of the hepatitis C virus, a disease afflicting over 100 million people worldwide. The methods range from the detection of anti-HCV in serum and HCV in liver tissue to HCV genotypes and the detection and quantification of HCV in serum. In addition to these key protocols, the authoritative contributors also evaluate recombinant proteins in immunological test systems, including the identification of important antigenic epitopes, antibodies, and recombinant antigens. The methods and systems detailed in this book will play a key role in the development of more effective antivirals, in the introduction of vaccines, and in a deeper understanding of viral replication strategies, viron structure, and the mechanisms of viron assembly and release.
