About this title

Synopsis

Expert laboratorians noted for their optimized methods describe in step-by-step detail how to successfully carry out tissue-based laser microdissection in their own laboratory using the different systems available and to apply a wide range of sophisticated molecular technologies to the microdissected tissue samples. The highlights include gene expression profiling of primary tumor cell populations using laser capture microdissection, RNA transcript amplification and GeneChip microarrays, laser capture microdissection and colorectal cancer proteomics, and proteomic analysis of human bladder tissue using SELDI approach following microdissection techniques. Applications of the microdissected tissue described encompass PCR, gene expression studies including microarray analysis, and proteomics.

Review

From the reviews: "...an excellent help to researchers...." - Neoplasma "Comprehensive and state of the art, this book provides a highly practical guide to successful tissue-based laser microdissection using available commercial systems, and also a guide to interpreting the results using a wide range of sophisticated molecular technologies." - Clinical Laboratory International "...provides researchers with practical advise and detailed technical protocols for carrying out tissue-based LCM...." - Vet Pathol "Comprehensive and up-to-date collection of readily reproducible preparative and analytical methods is presented in each chapter for an in-depth practice of laser microdissection application. ... The book is subdivided into 5 parts with a total of 24 chapters featuring step-by-step protocols that will enable novice researchers to isolate specific cell types or microorganisms."
