A Laboratory Guide to the Tight Junction
Academic Press Inc (Verlag)
978-0-12-818647-3 (ISBN)
Chapter 1 provides the foundations of cell biology of tight junction. Chapter 2 covers the Biochemical approaches for paracellular channels and is followed by chapter 3 providing the Biophysical approaches. Chapter 4 describes and discusses Histological approaches for tissue fixation and preparation. Chapter 5 discusses Light microscopy, while chapter 6 presents Electron microscopic approaches. Chapter 7 covers Transgenic manipulation in cell cultures, including DNA and siRNA, Mutagenesis, and viral infection. Chapter 8 covers transgenic manipulation in mice, including: Knockout, Knockin, siRNA knockdown, GFP/LacZ reporter, and overexpression. The final chapter discusses the future developments of new approaches for tight junction research.
Researchers and advanced students in bioscience working on topics of cell junction, ion channel and membrane protein will benefit from the described methods. Clinicians and pathologists interested in tissue barrier diseases will also benefit from the biochemical and biophysical characterization of tight junctions in organ systems, and their connection to human diseases.
Jianghui Hou is an Associate Professor of Medicine, Division of Nephrology, at Washington University Saint Louis. Hou received his bachelors in biochemistry from Nanjing University, China. He received Master (with distinction) and Ph.D. from the University of Edinburgh, UK. Dr. Hou did his postdoc in cell biology at Harvard Medical School. He has been at Washington University since 2009. Dr. Hou is a renowned expert in studying tight junctions in different tissues, has published a number of high-profile papers in this field, and has recently pioneered a novel approach for high-resolution measurement of the tight junction permeability.
