This volume details applications in molecular biological techniques and focuses on applications to determine the involvement of glycans in virus interactions. Chapters guide readers through glycan analysis, glycan distribution analysis, glycan and lectin microarray, preparation of recombinant viral domain protein, reverse genetics and receptor binding, virus-host interactions and receptor binding, and sialidase: assays and inhibitors. Written in the successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols, and notes on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

 Authoritative and cutting-edge, Glycovirology: Methods and Protocols aims to be an essential resource for researchers who wish to learn more about glycovirology.
