Over the last two decades, the field has progressed from identification of the individual components through to an understanding of the activation and deactivation mechanisms, and the complex structural detail of the proteins involved. We now know that these pathways are important in many biological processes, including growth and development, hematopoiesis, and the innate and adaptive immune response. JAK-STAT Signalling: Methods and Protocols provides detailed methodologies for examining many aspects of the pathway. Divided into four sections, topics include JAK and STAT specific approaches, the negative regulators of the pathway (SOCS proteins), and the production and crystallization of JAK and STAT proteins, among others. 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 easily accessible, JAK-STAT Signalling: Methods and Protocols will be of use not only to those working in the area but also to new investigators who are led to delve into the complexities of JAK and STAT responses Analysis Life sciences Cytokines Cytology Cell Biology Cytokines and Growth Factors eiwitten proteins celbiologie cellular biology groeifactoren growth factors Proteins and Enzymes Eiwitten en enzymen Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes English Subject Cellular signal transduction -- Laboratory manuals Cytokines -- Laboratory manuals Protein kinases -- Laboratory manuals Protein-tyrosine kinase.
