Publisher's Synopsis
This detailed volume explores the production and purification of glycoproteins for therapeutic use or basic research, as well as the necessary in-depth understanding of cellular and acellular systems available for these purposes, their advantages and disadvantages, and considerations for choosing the most appropriate system for the desired application. Beginning with chapters on viral-encoded glycoproteins and those found in other pathogens, the book continues by examining the production of mammalian glycoproteins, the analysis of glycoprotein content, cell-free synthesis of glycoproteins and considerations for production and purification of glycoproteins. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to the respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step and readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Authoritative and practical, Recombinant Glycoproteins: Methods and Protocols provides a wide range of guidelines for studying these vitally important proteins.
