Synopsis

This collection of cutting-edge techniques is essential for studying the molecular biology, virology, and immunology of the HIV virus. The methods cover a broad range of research interests, including quantitation of viral genomes, HIV promoter function, B-cell epitope mapping, viral coreceptor usage, and measurements of T-cell function. Special emphasis is accorded to studying those viral and host immune responses to infection that will be critical to the design of effective preventive vaccines. HIV Protocols is the first HIV methods book to concentrate equally on virology, molecular biology, and immunology, as well as to incorporate methods on chemokine receptor structure and function.

About this title

Review

"... a great companion to the more general laboratory protocol manuals... provide[s] an impressively up-to-date collection of laboratory methods for every common and not-so-common AIDS lab experiment." - Antiviral Research HIV Protocols is a good addition to a basic science laboratory that processes various HIV clinical specimens. Graduate students or clinical fellows starting out on their careers in basic experimental science will find it most useful. Overall, this book compiles a number of general basic science protocols in the fields of virology, molecular biology and immunology as applied to the study of HIV. The thorough nature of the materials and methods section of each chapter ensures that the reader will get off to a good start when using these techniques in their own laboratory. - Can J Infect Dis
