Laboratory Methods in Vesicular and Vectorial Transport (Cell Biology)

This book presents proven approaches for studying the secretory and endocytic paths in animal cells. The range of methods covers initial events of translocation into the rough endoplasmic reticulum through to events of vesicular traffic at the cell surface. The chapters have been selected from three recent "Methods in Cell Biology" volumes as those with broad appeal for an expanded audience of students and researchers. Features and benefits include a convenient bench-top format; vectorial transport in the rough endoplasmic reticulum; accessing the cytoplasm; analysis of vesicle fusion; and electron microscopic immunocytochemistry.
