"The book nicely covers the hot topics in this area -- laser capture microdissection, in situ hybridization, FISH, tyramide amplification methods, etc. An attractive feature of this book is that the last 10 chapters (of the 20) contain actual "cookbook" protocols (e.g., PCR, confocal laser scanning microscopy, immunohistochemistry, antigen retrieval, etc.) that can be adapted immediately to any laboratory...This book would be useful for those needing a concise reference for how to perform modern molecular tissue-based technology. " -Doody's Health Science Book Review Journal "This book describes in detail new methods employed in the study of molecular morphology as a basis for the study of human genes and the etiology of diseases. Among the methods are in situ hybridization, in situ detection of infectious agents, the "FISH" technique, PCR, immunocytochemistry, etc. This excellent production has many photos, some in color, and tables and figures. Very useful to those wishing to employ these techniques." - Journal of Pediatric Endocrinology and Metabolism
