With revenues from the top five therapeutic antibodies accounting for a majority of the recent pharmaceutical sales, the research and development in the field has exploded over the past several years and is expected to grow with new emerging monoclonal antibodies like Numax, Lucentis, Actemra, and others. In Therapeutic Antibodies: Methods and Protocols, leading experts from academic laboratories and biotechnology companies present an extensive set of protocols for the discovery and development of therapeutic antibodies, featuring sections devoted to recombinant antigens, antibody libraries, antibody discovery, antibody engineering, and antibody preclinical development. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology™ series format, the chapters contain brief introductions to their respective subjects, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and notes highlighting tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Comprehensive and cutting-edge, Therapeutic Antibodies: Methods and Protocols serves as a key resource for researchers and antibody engineers investigating and participating in this rapidly growing therapeutic market segment.

"[Antibodies aims] to put current immunological methodology into the hands of non-specialists. Happily, Harlow and Lane have succeeded admirably and this manual seems certain also to gain a place on the laboratory bench (too useful to remain on the bookshelf) of a wide variety of biologistseven immunologists. The volume opens with four introductory chapters summarizing key features of the immune response; these provide a succinct overview of the field and are very well written. The scope of the rest of the book includes techniques of immunization and bleeding, monoclonal antibodies and hybridomas, protein labelling, immunoassays (mostly those using solid supports), immunoprecipitation of cellular antigens, immunoblotting and immunoaffinity purification. The methods are presented as easy-to-follow '1-2-3 protocols,' and assume relatively little experience. Rationales for procedures are often presented, which helps to remove some of the mystique that has been associated with immunological methodology."

A core collection of diverse cutting-edge techniques for the generation, expression, optimization, and characterization of recombinant antibodies. Readily reproducible protocols for lead generation range from the cloning of human immunoglobulin genes to the selection and generation of human recombinant antibodies by humanization approaches, molecular display technologies and transgenic animals. Procedures are also described on restructuring antibody leads into monovalent, multivalent, and bispecific binding fragments for a wide variety of in vivo applications. State-of-the-art technologies are described for the characterization of antigen-binding affinity and specificity with novel applications in radioimmunotargeting, cancer immunotherapy, drug abuse, and proteomics.

All eukaryotic messenger RNAs are derived from precursors, the pre-mRNAs, by an extensive series of nuclear modifi cations. Most notably, the removal of introns and the joining of the remaining exons in the process of pre-mRNA splicing is essential to generate mRNAs that are suitable templates for translation. The vast majority of human pre-mRNAs undergo alternative splicing, in which different RNA parts are either included or omitted in the mature mRNA. This process allows individual genes to generate multiple proteins and makes alternative pre-mRNA splicing a central element in gene regulation. Although pre-mRNA splicing occurs with high fi delity, an increasing number of diseases have been linked to defects that lead to mis-spliced mRNAs.This book was written for graduate and medical students, as well as clinicians and postdoctoral researchers. It describes the theory of alternative pre-mRNA splicing in twelve introductory chapters and then introduces protocols and their theoretical background relevant for experimental research. These 43 practical chapters cover: Basic methods, Detection of splicing events, Analysis of alternative pre-mRNA splicing in vitro and in vivo, Manipulation of splicing events, and Bioinformatic analysis of alternative splicing. A theoretical introduction and practical guide for molecular biologists, geneticists,clinicians and every researcher interested in alternative splicing.

In Recombinant Antibodies for Cancer Therapy: Methods and Protocols, Martin Welschoff and Jürgen Krauss present a collection of carefully selected protocols for the design, construction, and characterization of novel anticancer therapeutics based on recombinant antibody technology. These readily reproducible methods include coverage of hybridoma-derived recombinant antibodies, recombinant antibody fragments from phagemid-displayed antibody repertoires, antibody fragments with additional properties, and large-scale production of recombinant antibodies for clinical applications. Concise review articles also survey the current status of recombinant antibodies in cancer therapy, as well as the generation of antibody molecules through antibody engineering.

Monoclonal Antibody Protocols provides researchers in biomedical, agricultural, and biological science with a set of detailed, easy-to-follow methods for developing and using monoclonal antibodies. The protocols emphasize techniques that optimize the outgrowth of hybridomas from primary cultures of fused cells and the use of an alternative, electric-field-mediated cell fusion technique to increase the yield of hybridomas. The book stresses antibodies produced in mice, but includes methods of producing xenogeneic hybrids that yield human, bovine, equine, and porcine monoclonal antibodies. With its detailed instructions, its comments on how to alter the various steps of a protocol in order to accommodate different materials, and its hints and tips that often make the difference between success and failure, Monoclonal Antibody Protocols provides you with a ready and indispensable source of information for preparing and using monoclonal antibodies successfully in your laboratory.
