Overview

This volume details protocols for studying Schistosoma mansoni.  Chapters guide readers through reviews on current drugs and drug discovery, methods to interrogate the cell biology of the worm, protocols to look at proteome level changes, prepare and work with specific proteins from S. mansoni, describes a drug screening, and how to test potential vaccine targets. 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. Authoritative and cutting-edge, Schistosoma mansoni: Methods and Protocols aims to ensure successful results in the further study of this vital field.
