Description
Cytokines are important mediators of immunity, inflammation, and cell growth and are relevant to many areas of biomedical research. This book, now in its second edition, provides detailed up-to-date practical information for the study of cytokines and their receptors, including guides to many of the most useful current techniques in cell and molecular biology, immunology, and biochemistry. In all it contains 184 protocols, providing a comprehensive resource for researchers in many disciplines of biomedical research. This book is intended for postgraduate and postdoctural researchers in immunology, infectious diseases, autommunity, oncology, and biomedical research in general.
