This volume covers the latest key aspects of therapeutic protein applications. Chapters in this book cover topics such as the discovery, production, and conjugation of protein-proteins with discussions on the direction of future development and advancements; ways to use these engineering proteins for therapeutic and vaccine applications; and the use of modified protein nanocarriers. 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.
Cutting-edge and practical, Therapeutic Proteins: Methods and Protocols is a valuable resource for any researcher who are interested in learning more about the field of therapeutic proteins.
