Lymphokines and Interferons: A Practical Approach (Practical Approach Series)

A practical response to the increase of interest in the fields of interferon and lymphokine research, this volume presents the techniques involved with these independent areas of research. Reflecting recent progress in these fields, contributors describe protocols for working with interferons including antibody preparation, immuno-assay, purification, expressing recombinant genes in heterologous systmes and quantitating mRNA with cDNA probes; the chapters on techniques for lymphokines address aspects unique to each different lymphokine. Readership: immunology, biology researchers, postgraduates.
