Immunologists in basic science and clinical work alike will find techniques they rely on, including production, purification, and fragmentation of antibodies; assays for lymphocyte function; measurement of cytokines and cytokine receptors; biochemistry of lymphocyte activation; innate immunity, isolation of human immune cell populations, detection and analysis of HIV, and animal models for a variety of autoimmune and infectious diseases.
