Dendritic Cells Methods and Protocols

This detailed volume provides methods that can be used to study dendritic cell (DC) ontogeny, isolation, migration, and functions. After an introduction to murine and human DC subsets and their unique transcriptional, phenotypic, and functional properties, the book continues with sections covering in vivo studies, in vitro differentiation, enrichment, functional characterization, as well as Omics approaches to study dendritic cells. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and practical, Dendritic Cells: Methods and Protocols is an ideal guide to familiarize readers with the current state of the art techniques to investigate these vital cells.
