Cancer Cell Biology

This volume provides detailed methods on the mechanisms of underlying cancer cell biology. Chapters guide readers through techniques for culturing cancer cell lines, xenografts, cryopreservation of tumor cells, analyzing the co-culture of breast cancer cells, protein secretion by ELISA, flow cytometry-based, multi-parametric immunofluorescence analysis, protein expression by western blot, analysis of surface protein levels, protein recycling by biotinylation assay, and proteomics analysis by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Written in the format of the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, each chapter includes an introduction to the topic, lists necessary materials and reagents, includes tips on troubleshooting and known pitfalls, and step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols. Authoritative and cutting-edge, Cancer Cell Biology: Methods and Protocols aims to provide a comprehensive set of tools for the analysis of cancer cell biology in the lab.
