Now completely revised and updated from the original, much-acclaimed and bestselling first edition, Basic Cell Culture Protocols, 2nd ed. offers today's most comprehensive collection of easy-to-follow, cutting-edge protocols for the culture of a wide range of animal cells. Its authoritative contributors provide explicit, step-by-step instructions, along with extensive notes and tips that allow both experts and beginners to successfully achieve their desired results. Topics range from basic culture methodology to strategies for culturing previously uncultured cell types and hard-to-culture differentiated cells. Methods are also provided for the analysis of living cells by FACS, video microscopy, and confocal microscopy. Like the first edition, this book should be in every cell culture laboratory and be of use to all who use cell cultures in research.
This book critically discusses these new practices and the actors engaged in them. In doing so, it deals with several countries in three different continents (Asia, South America and Europe).

Chapters review methodological advances, such as in cancer detection, and explore potential relationships to molecular biology. Also discussed are: viral infection, fundamentals of quantitative methods, and the revolutionary role of immunocytochemistry in diagnostic cell typing. The new insights offered by transmission and scanning electron microscopy into cellular structure and function are discussed, and the connections between cytology and histology are highlighted. Epidemiology in connection with cytology is incorporated in special reports. The current developments described here will become routine methods of the cytology of tomorrow.
