{PDF} B Cell Protocols Richard R. Hardy, Susan A. Shinton (auth.), Hua Gu PhD, Klaus Rajewsky MD (eds.)

Recent advances in genetics, synergized by many exciting developments in cellular and molecular biology, have provided powerful new experimental tools for the study of not only B-lymphocyte development and function, but also the physiology and pathology of the immune system in higher animals. In B Cell Protocols, highly qualified investigators who are either the inventors or expert users of their methods provide a diverse collection of protocols that range from the latest inventions and applications to classic, but still frequently used, methods in B cell biology. The protocols presented follow the successful Methods in Molecular Biology? series format, each one offering step-by-step laboratory instructions, an introduction outlining the principle behind the technique, lists of equipment and reagents, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Comprehensive and cutting-edge, B Cell Protocols offers both beginning and experienced researchers alike highly effective tools for exploring B-lymphocyte development and function in higher animals, as well as critical information on how best to design or modify an experimental approach that will prove productive in their own research.
