    BIOLUMINESCENCE AND CHEMILUMINESCENCE
    Progress and Perspectives
    Proceedings of the 13th International Symposium

    Pacifico Yokohama, Yokohama, Japan 2 - 6 August 2004

    edited by Akio Tsuji, Masako Maeda (Showa University, Japan), Masakatsu Matsumoto (Kanagawa University, Japan), Larry J Kricka (University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, USA) & Philip E Stanley (Cambridge Research & Technology Transfer Ltd, UK)

    Bioluminescence and chemiluminescence are among the most important technologies in the life sciences. This latest volume of the long-running biannual Bioluminescence and Chemiluminescence symposium series presents the latest developments in the fundamental and applied aspects of bioluminescence and chemiluminescence.

    The book covers the fundamental aspects of bioluminescence, including beetle, marine bacterial and Cypridina bioluminescence, and the fundamental aspects of chemiluminescence, including 1,2-dioxetanes. It also presents recent developments in instrumentation and devices and a wide range of applications of bioluminescence and chemiluminescence.

    The applications are succinctly described and include applications of luminescence in antioxidant research, phagocytosis, microbiology, ecology, food and environmental testing, immunoassay, enzyme assays, DNA probe assays, and reporter gene and gene expression assays.

    The proceedings have been selected for coverage in:
