While the sequence of the human genome sequence has hit the
headlines, extensive exploitation of this for practical
applications is still to come. Genomic and post-genomic
technologies applied to viral and bacterial pathogens, which are
almost equally important from a scientific perspective, have the
potential to be translated into useful products and processes much
more rapidly.

Genomics, Proteomics and Vaccines introduces the history of
vaccinology and discusses how vaccines are expected to evolve in
the future. It describes the relevant technologies, including
genome sequencing and analysis, DNA microarrays, 2D electrophoresis
and 2D chromatography, mass spectrometry and high-throughput
protein expression and purification. The book also features
examples of the exploitation of genomics and post-genomics in
vaccine discovery, and contains useful descriptions of the biology
and pathogenesis of clinically important bacterial pathogens.

This book should be of interest to all those working in vaccine
discovery and development in pharmaceutical and biotechnology
companies as well as in academic institutions
