Perspectives on Vasopressin
Perspectives on Vasopressin Books
Product Description
Vasopressin is a hormone which has an increasingly vital profile. Not only does it play a physiologically significant role in renal water regulation but it also has other renal actions and plays a role in overall cardiovascular control. Even more fascinating is the recent growing interest in its potential effects on the brain, notably its influence on specific behaviours.
This monograph about the polypeptide vasopressin covers all aspects relating to the production, control of release, and actions of this molecule within the body, including its roles as a hormone and as a central neurotransmitter. A consideration of the evolution of the molecule across the species and a brief historical perspective are also included. Clinical conditions associated with hypo- and hyper-production states are considered together with aspects of treatment, in addition to other clinical correlates.
- Introduction to Vasopressin
- Comparative and Evolutionary Aspects of Vasopressin
- The Neurohypophysial System: Synthesis and Metabolism of Vasopressin
- Vasopressin Receptors, the Signalling Cataract and Mechanisms of Action

Mutagens in Food Detection and Prevention
Mutagens in Food Detection and Prevention Books
Product Description
This book describes many different kinds of mutagens that are detected in food, and also discusses various ways to suppress their formation and activities. The mutagens discussed include those of natural origin, those caused by human manipulation of food (e.g., cooking and adding preservatives), and those formed after food has been consumed (e.g., nitrosamines). Other topics include mutagenesis and mutagen-formation inhibitors, contemporary mutagen detection methods, the fate of ingested mutagens, and risk assessments for mutagens as human carcinogens. The book emphasizes cooked-food mutagens, especially the heterocyclic amines, because of their potential as human carcinogens. Researchers and students concerned with mutagens in food will consider this book to be valuable additions to their reference libraries.

Monoclonal Antibodies: Principles and Applications
Monoclonal Antibodies: Principles and Applications Books
Product Description
Monoclonal Antibodies
Principles and Applications
Edited by J. R. Birch and E. S. Lennox
In recent years, the advent of PCR technology and protein engineering, with the expansion and improvement of the techniques caught up in gene expression, has enabled the manufacture of monoclonal antibodies tailor-made hostile to any selected antigen. Advances in the chemical modification of monoclonal antibodies allow the creation of reporter molecules for diagnostic purposes and effector molecules with therapeutic potential.
Monoclonal Antibodies: Principles and Applications is an applied text covering the principles of monoclonal antibody engineering, production, modification, and their wide use in immunoassays, immunoaffinity purification, and diagnostic imaging. The potential of monoclonal antibodies as therapeutic agents in the treatment of cancer, infectious diseases, autoimmune disorders, and in the prevention of transplanted organ rejection is also explored throughout. Chapters on biosafety considerations and the patenting of monoclonal antibodies will be of particular relevance to those working within the biotechnology industry and to basic researchers interested in developing monoclonal antibodies for commercial use.
Monoclonal Antibodies: Principles and Applications
- Provides nonspecialists with a broad-based introduction to monoclonal antibodies
- Features the most up-to-date introduction to the field available
- Includes a section on safety issues when working within the biotechnology industries
This simple reference to all key aspects of monoclonal antibody applications and technology will be essential reading for biotechnologists and researchers in immunology, molecular biology, and protein chemistry.
