Targeted proteomics is a technology for detecting proteins of interest with high sensitivity, quantitative accuracy, and reproducibility. The analysis of a pre-defined group of proteins provides precise, quantitative, and sensitive data to scientists and clinicians and can provide information on a subset of proteins important for their biological function. In this volume, a panel of high-profile contributors provides an overview of targeted proteomics in biomedical science. The book is focused on current state-of-the-art technology and applications, and it will be a valuable source of information for everyone working in this field. The first part of the book provides detailed examples of the application of targeted proteomics in biomarker discovery and pathogenesis. The second part is focused on the various tools used in targeted proteomics, including bioinformatics approaches, while the final section is dedicated to biobanks, a vital aspect of targeted proteomics. The book is highly recommended for anyone interested in proteomics, disease pathogenesis, clinical protein science, and biomarker discovery.

This volume focuses on protein analysis, and covers a wide array of uses of protein microarray for disease analysis. The chapters in this book discuss different stages of protein microarrays from their construction to their use, including different types of protein microarrays such as recombinant proteins, antibody, phage, and NAPPA protein microarrays, in planar format or in solution via beads arrays. 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. Comprehensive and cutting-edge, Protein Microarrays for Disease Analysis: Methods and Protocols is a valuable resource for graduate and post-doctoral fellows interested in protein microarrays, as well as senior researchers interested in gaining more insight into this developing field.

Based on a popular course at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, this new manual assembles cutting-edge protocols, helpful hints, and lecture notes to teach researchers from a wide variety of disciplines the essential methods of proteomics using state-of-the-art instrumentation. Detailed protocols involving protein microarrays, liquid chromatography, high-throughput cloning of expression constructs, IMAC, mass spectrometry, MALDI-TOF, and MudPIT are provided, along with well-illustrated descriptions of experimental procedures and lists of recommended websites and reading material. Proteomics: A Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Course Manual can be used both as the basis for a course and as a detailed bench manual for those performing indispensable proteomic experiments. It is authored by Andrew J. Link, Philip C. Andrews, and Joshua LaBaer, all leaders in their fields, who bring complementary expertise to the manual.
