Oxford University Press Cytokine Cell Biology: A Practical Approach: No.238 (Practical Approach Series)

Cytokine Cellular Biology focuses on cell biology techniques for studying cytokines, cytokine receptors, and cytokine driven processes. Assays for human B cell responses, leucocyte migration, haematopoietic growth factors, macrophage activation by cytokines, RIA, IRMA, and ELISA assays, and quantitative biological assays for cytokines are all covered in detail. There are also updated chapters on studying cytokine regulation of endothelial cells; the measurement of proliferative, cytostatic, and cytolytic activity of cytokines; and the development of antibodies to cytokines. In addition there is a new chapter on the use of flow ctyometry and intracellular fluorescent staining. Written by experts in the field, Cytokine Molecular Biology and Cytokine Cellular Biology form a comprehensive and essential guide to cytokine research.
