Bacterial Therapy of Cancer: Methods and Protocols in Bloomington, MN

This volume explores the evolution of bacterial cancer therapy and describes the modern techniques used in therapy today. The chapters in this book 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, non-invasive in vivo imaging of bacteria-mediated cancer therapy using bio-luminescent bacteria, methods to achieve remote-control of therapeutic gene expression in tumor-targeting 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, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory prools, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Thorough and informative,
Bacterial Therapy of Cancer: Methods and Prools
is a valuable resource for anyone who is interested in cancer and bacterial therapy.
