Product Review
From Reviews of the First Edition
"will find a place on the bench in any lab that is moving into calcium signaling, or expanding its repertoire of techniques in calcium signaling. It will be valuable as a resource foryears to come." -Cell Biology International
"This book achieves muchFor anyone remotely interested in Ca2+ it will be a very valuable resource in their lab" -Quarterly Review of Biology
". . .recommended to investigators interested in calcium measurement using optical methods. "-Doody's Health Sciences Book Review Journal
"Most protocols identify required materials such as buffers, reagents and cell lines. Methods are presented in a step-by-step format. Hopefully these protocols are adaptable by scientists for use in specific research. Certainly, the methods are specific enough not to leave the researcher stranded. Calcium Signaling Protocols is recommended for academic health and science libraries who support academic research."-E-Streams
Product Description
This extensively updated and expanded second edition contains new chapters on the elctrophysiological measurement of Ca2+ channel activity, enhanced coverage of confocal microscopy, and practical tutorials on two of the most common industrial high-throughput machines, the Fluormetric Imaging Plate Reader (FLIPR), and the FlexStation. All experimental chapters provide readily reproducible techniques for measuring the many dacets of Ca2+ signaling. The protocols follow the successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, each offering step-by-step laboratory instructions, an introduction outlining the principles behind the technique, lists of the necessary equipment and reagents, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
