Enzyme-linked immunospot assay (ELISPOT) has been known for some time as a unique state-of-the-art technique for studying the cytokine-secreting activity of immune system cells, and it appears to be one of the fast growing applications in biomedical research, becoming an indispe…
Natural Killer T cells
by Terabe, Masaki, Berzofsky, Jay A.
fromCancer Drug Discovery and Development
This book will cover primary roles of NKT cells in immunity to cancer, in both mouse tumor models and cancer patients. There are several chapters describing general aspects of NKT cells.
Regenerative medicine is the emerging science of how we can support our body to repair itself and encompasses innovative strategies to facilitate recovery after organ injury. Several types of blood-derived stem cells can be easily procured and have the potential to facilitate th…
Human immunosenescence contributes to morbidity and mortality in later life. This title collects papers that address the mechanisms responsible for immune ageing in humans and considers what might be accomplished to redress the erosion of immune competence with age.
"Preface Computational biofluiddynamics addresses a diverse family of problems involving fluid flow inside and around living organisms, organs and tissue, biological cells, and other biological materials. Numerical methods combine aspects of computational mechanics, fluid dynami…
Neutrophils, the most abundant white cells in humans, serve as the primary cellular defense against infection. Neutrophil Methods and Protocols, Second Edition provides a concise set of protocols written by leading researchers in the field for assessing basic neutrophil function…
Haematology at a glance
by Hoffbrand, A. V., Mehta, Atul B.
fromAt a glance series (Oxford, England)
This is a broad and accessible introduction to the study of blood. Fully revised and updated to reflect advances in the field and in clinical practice, this edition covers essential knowledge, from basic hematological physiology to blood disorders and their diagnosis and treatme…
Lymphomas are lymphoid malignancies derived from B or T lymphocytes, and their study has been and still is paradigmatic for many aspects of cancer research. Lymphoma: Methods and Protocols presents and discusses key methods that are used in lymphoma research, partly specific for…
Over the last decade, major advances in our understanding of the immune system and its mechanisms have led to promising new treatment strategies. In Adoptive Immunotherapy: Methods and Protocols, leading experts describe in detail their optimal techniques for producing and chara…
The innate immune response is a crucial component of early resistance to infection, and it is now revealing increasing levels of complexity. The ability to modify the genome in vivo, has facilitated understanding of complex interactions between leucocytes and other components of…
