This volume contains protocols specifically designed for studying cell signaling mediated by ErbB receptors, all applicable to the study of a broad range of ErbB receptor-mediated signaling from basic research to clinic applications, from cultured cells to various animal models and primary cancer cells from patients. After some overviews, the book continues by covering common protocols for studying various aspects of ErbB receptor-mediated cell signaling, newly-developed methods in biomedical research that are also widely-used in the study of ErbB receptor signaling, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling in Drosophila, as well as protocols for studying ErbB receptor signaling in various animal model systems. Written in the highly 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 laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Detailed and easy-to-follow, ErbB Receptor Signaling: Methods and Protocolsserves as an ideal guide for researchers who are studying the cell signaling mediated by ErbB receptors and other receptor tyrosine kinases.
