Glycovirology: Methods and Protocols

This volume details applications in molecular biological  techniques and focuses on applications to determine the involvement of  glycans in virus interactions. Chapters guide readers through glycan  analysis, glycan distribution analysis, glycan and lectin microarray,  preparation of recombinant viral domain protein, reverse genetics and  receptor binding, virus-host interactions and receptor binding, and  sialidase: assays and inhibitors. Written in the successful Methods in Molecular Biology series  format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics,  lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily  reproducible protocols, and notes on troubleshooting and avoiding known  pitfalls.

 Authoritative and cutting-edge, Glycovirology: Methods and Protocols aims to be an essential resource for researchers who wish to learn more about glycovirology.
