"... detailed protocols with essential background material and seminal references for methods are discussed, ranging from immunologic and biochemical assays to techniques such as transfection and recombinant viral constructs... The book is clearly written; the best parts are the background introductions and the notes sections...this is a worthwhile addition to the library or personal collection of scientists, whenever HCMV or other herpes virus bench research is performed."-Doody's Health Science Book Review Journal "I suspect this research protocols book will become e common place in cytomegalovirus labs across the globe and should serve to reinforce "in-house" methods texts...a useful laboratory manual for those coming into the field, as well as for experienced cytomegalovirologists wishing to broaden their technical expertise."-Microbiology Today "This volume provides detailed laboratory protocols for a range of techniques relevant to human cytomegalovirus research...the volume is a high quality one, and I recommend it to those working in the field." - The Journal of Medical Microbiology
