Synopsis

In this the first of two volumes, attention is focused on procedures used in the isolation of polypeptide hormones and their indentification and structural analysis; the development of sensitive bioassay and immunoassay techniques; methods in current use for tissue localization of peptide hormones and their encoding MRNAs; and techniques for characterization of peptide hormone receptors. Wherever possible, the general principles and strategies on which the methods are based are given so that the techniques will have a wide application to biologically active peptides involved in neurotransmission, growth regulations, differentiation, and vasoregulation. This and the second volume "Peptide Hormone Action" are also published together as a two-volume set.

Review

'This volume is very clearly laid out with a good index, an excellent supply of up-to-date references and clear illustrations. It is an excellent introduction to the area and a valuable laboratory book for its procols.' Cell Biology International Reports, Vol. 15, No.8, 1991

'... this text will draw to the attention of those working in one corner of the peptide hormone field some of the methodologies used by those working in different corners of the same field and should benefit all concerned.' FEBS Letters

'There is a companion volume on peptide hormone action. Both volumes provide excellent practical details and will be very useful to bench workers.' International Journal of Biochemistry
