Book Description

This ebook; Bacterial Therapy of Cancer: Methods and Protocols (PDF) explores the evolution of bacterial cancer therapy and describes the modern techniques used in therapy today. The chapters in this volume cover a broad range of topics such as the development of tumor-targeting Salmonella typhimurium A1-R; a microfluidic device for precise quantification of the interactions between tumor-targeting bacteria and tumor tissue; methods to achieve remote-control of therapeutic gene expression in tumor-targeting bacteria; non-invasive in vivo imaging of bacteria-mediated cancer therapy using bio-luminescent bacteria; and cell-cycle decoy of cancer cells resistant to cytotoxic drugs to drug sensitivity by S. typhimurium A1-R. This book concludes with a chapter on the future potential of bacterial therapy of cancer. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format; the chapters include introductions to their respective topics; lists of the necessary materials and reagents; readily reproducible and step-by-step laboratory protocols; and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known problems and pitfalls.

Thorough and informative; Bacterial Therapy of Cancer: Methods and Protocols is a very valuable resource for anyone who is interested in cancer and bacterial therapy.
