The book "Amyloid Proteins" offers a comprehensive collection of techniques for studying amyloid proteins and their role in the etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and therapy of amyloid diseases. The contributions come from experts in the field and include methods for preparing amyloid and its precursors, such as oligomers and protofibrils. Additionally, it presents in vitro tests and analytical techniques for investigating these proteins, as well as cell culture models and assays for the production of amyloid proteins. The book also contains chapters on the extraction of amyloid from tissue, its detection in vitro and in vivo, and non-transgenic methods for developing amyloid mouse models. The protocols are written in the established format of the "Methods in Molecular Biology" series and provide detailed step-by-step instructions, an introduction to the underlying principles, lists of required equipment and reagents, as well as troubleshooting tips and advice on avoiding common issues.
