Product Description
Stephen P Robinson, MD, PhD, and Andrew Satgg, PhD, have brought together a wide range of time-proven methods for studying these dendritic cells. Many of these readily reproducible techniques deal with the problem of obtaining sufficient dendritic cells for analysis, whether by isolation from a wide vareity of tissues, or from various progenitor cell populations. Other methods describe in step-by-step fashion the techniques commonly used for analyzing aspects of dendritic cells, ranging from cell migration to antigen uptake and T cell stimulation. In addition, a few techniques explore the practical challenges involved in using dendritic cells in a clinical setting to develop novel immunotherapeueutics.

Essential reading for those working in the DC field by Digital photography novice (Charlottesville, VA USA)

5 Stars
June 14, 2006
This book is an invaluable reference for all manner of work in dendritic cells. The detailed protocols within are true time-savers, and have saved me many headaches and wasted hours looking up and cross-referring the same information in the literature. Although published a few years ago, the information is still completely germane in 2006 and the protocols are extremely well-written and helpful.
