Immunology: Overview and Laboratory Manual (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

A two-in-one text providing teaching lab students with an overview of immunology as well as a lab manual complete with current standard exercises.

Section I of this book provides an overview of the immune system and immunity, and includes review questions, problem sets, case studies, inquiry-based questions, and more to provide students with a strong foundation in the field. Section II consists of twenty-two lab exercises focused on key concepts in immunology, such as antibody production, cell separation, cell function, immunoassays, Th1/Th2 cytokine detection, cell and tissue culture methods, and cell and molecular biology techniques. Appendices include safety information, suggested links and readings, and standard discipline processes, protocols, and instructions.
