Overview

This revised and expanded second edition presents detailed, step-by-step methods from seasoned experts for investigating neuronal cell death. The techniques described are readily reproducible and address a variety of research challenges. They include detecting key proteins involved in neuronal apoptosis, such as Bax protein, cytochrome c, and caspases. The book also covers assessing the role of pro-apoptotic proteins in neurons through viral infections and microinjections, and their detection in situ.
