Antigen processing is a biological process that prepares antigens for the presentation to special cells in the immune system called T lymphocytes. In Antigen Processing: Methods and Protocols, expert researchers in the field provide a comprehensive set of protocols for studying presentation of antigens produced in the standard processing pathways for MHC class I and class II molecules. The chapters follow chronology of intracellular processing events, ending with recognition of peptide-MHC complexes at the cell surface by T lymphocytes. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular BiologyT series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and key tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Authoritative and practical, Antigen Processing: Methods and Protocols is designed for beginners and experts interested in studying antigen processing.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
From the reviews:
"The book is divided into 42 chapters, each split into a short abstract, an introduction providing the relevant bibliographic overview, a detailed list of materials used in the protocol, a step-by-step description of the procedure, and a final section with notes. . Van Endert achieves what he set out to do - to provide an in-depth bench-side companion for antigen processing beginners and experts . . The book comes highly recommended." (Clemens Hermann, Immunology News, February, 2014)
"The book is designed to be a benchside companion for researchers interested in studying antigen processing. It is intended for both beginners and experts studying antigen presentation." (Omer Iqbal, Doody's Book Reviews, August, 2013)
