Fundamentals of Molecular Diagnostics 2007

A comprehensive and up-to-date set of basic and advanced methods that illuminates the principles of molecular diagnostics and allows researchers to establish assay systems tailored to their specific needs. This unique collection has been thoroughly updated and expanded and covers the latest strategies for identifying novel diagnostic markers, epitope mapping, and the production and purification of recombinant antigens and their use as diagnostic reagents in immunological assays.

Molecular biotechnology continues to triumph, as this textbook testifies - edited by one of the academic pioneers in the field and written by experienced professionals. This completely revised second edition covers the entire spectrum, from the fundamentals of molecular and cell biology, via an overview of standard methods and technologies, the application of the various "-omics", and the development of novel drug targets, right up to the significance of system biology in biotechnology.

This book starts at an introductory level and leads reader to the most advanced topics in fluorescence imaging and super-resolution techniques that have enabled new developments such as nanobioimaging, multiphoton microscopy, nanometrology and nanosensors.
