Experimental Models of Infection, Inflammation and Injury

Experimental Models of Infection, Inflammation and Injury, Volume 168 provides step-by-step protocols for scientific researchers to effectively utilize experimental model systems. Chapters in this new release include Induction and Evaluation of Murine T Cell Transfer Colitis, Modelling acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) in murine bone marrow transplantation (BMT) models with MHC disparity, Mouse models of Graft-Versus-Host Disease, Preclinical Model of Multiple Sclerosis: Methods in Autoimmune Demyelination, Preclinical model of Multiple Sclerosis: focal, chemical or demyelination, Investigating demyelination, efficient remyelination and remyelination failure in organotypic cerebellar slice cultures: workflow and practical tips, and more.

Other notable sections cover Rheumatoid Arthritis: Methods for Two Murine Models, Induction of Pancreatitis in Mice with Susceptibility to Pancreatic Cancer, Small Animal Models of Thermal Injury, Large Animal Models of Thermal Injury, Small animal models of localized heart irradiation, Methods for Induction and Assessment of Intestinal Permeability in Rodent Models of Radiation Injury, and more.

• Provides precise, step-by-step guidance on how to implement experimental systems
• Presents a comprehensive background on the disease the model is being used to study
• Offers insights into how the described disease models compare to other existing systems
