Techniques for Immune Function Analysis

Techniques for Immune Function Analysis - Application Handbook (1st Edition)

The study of the immune system attracts large numbers of researchers from
diverse scientific disciplines because of its central importance in providing
immunological host defense and its intercommunication with other systems that
maintain bodily homeostasis. The immune system is often studied in its intact
form but it can also be readily disassembled into its cellular and molecular
components (eg, lymphoid cell populations and effector molecules), recombined
and modified in various ways, and analyzed in an in vitro or an in vivo setting.
Due to the creative development and application of a wide variety of
experimental protocols, often using new technological platforms and reagents,
vast amounts of new information concerning immune function become available
on a daily basis. Researchers busily scrutinize this information hoping to better
define and understand the networks of cellular and molecular mechanisms that
underlie immunity and inflammation in health and disease.
