"Immunology of Infection", edited by two of the foremost figures in the field, presents the most appropriate, up-to-date techniques in the detail you require. The layout is structured for ease of reference, and the volume will be essential reading for all researchers working in microbiology, immunology, virology, mycology, and parasitology. The new volume provides a carefully selected collection of immunological techniques for the microbiologist wishing to study host-pathogen relationships in vivo and in vitro. This multi-authored book has succeeded in bringing together experts from various fields of molecular and cellular immunology who provide ready-to-use recipes for the ex vivo and in vitro analysis of anti-infective immunity. It focuses on the methods most useful for the microbiologist interested in analying host-pathogen relationships. It features ready-to-use, tried and tested recipes. It includes a list of suppliers provided as appendices to each chapter. It covers techniques useful for the analysis of human and murine cells. It includes techniques for the prediction and determination of MHC ligands and T cell epitopes. It describes the art and science of DNA vaccines. It includes essential methods for measuring human cytokine responses. It covers isolation and propagation of dendritic cells.
