Despite the predominance of research into insect immunology, there is a growing awareness that new invertebrate groups--other than Drosophila--are worthy of investigation. This volume's focus on invertebrate immunity reflects the new scientific trend.
Written in the popular Methods in Molecular Biology(t) series format, this book covers, in equal measure, in vitro, in vivo, and human studies in regulatory T cells, offering readily reproducible laboratory protocols, key tips on troubleshooting and more.
Kuby Immunology is the first and only true textbook written by professors who teach the undergraduate course. It presents the most current concepts in an experimental context with clinical advances highlighted in boxes, supported by the kind of helpful pedagogical tools that other books do not provide.
Covers the topic of insect immunology since 1991, complimenting earlier works by offering a fresh perspective on the research. This book encompasses the most important topics of insect immunology including mechanisms, genes, proteins, evolution and phylogeny and provides coverage of topics important to medical researchers.
This book presents technical descriptions and protocols for a variety of experimental approaches to the characterization of immune receptors and the cell biology that mediates their functions. Written in the successful Methods in Molecular Biology(t) format.
An understanding of the immune system is central to the understanding of how the body interacts with its surroundings. Presenting an insight into this biological system, this book leads the students through both innate and adaptive immunity, how infection is detected, and how the cells of the immune system interact to generate a response.
Presents developments as well as comprehensive reviews in immunology. This title includes articles that address a range of topics that comprise immunology, including molecular and cellular activation mechanisms, phylogeny and molecular evolution, and clinical modalities.
This practical volume is designed to help any biologist develop an immunoassay of any common format for any suitable analyte. The basic principles are described and the choices of assay types and formats are listed, along with information on solid-phase reagents and preparing control samples.
This third edition reflects the rapid evolution of immunocytochemistry in the post-genomic era. Expert researchers explore the latest methods, now widely used in situ to identify components of cells and tissues in both normal and pathological conditions.
Immunodiagnostic tests use antibodies as reagents whose results are used to aid diagnosis and are widely used in many scientific disciplines and in many different ways. This volume explains the principles and development of immunodiagnostic tests, specifically the use of radioisotopes as tracers.
