Description
Cytokines are proteins that control communication between cells and they are important in immunity, inflamation, tissue development, tissue repair, and cancer. This book is the new, revised edition of "Cytokines: A Practical Approach" published in 1991. It provides detailed, up-to-date practical information for the study of cytokines and cytokine-like activity and is also a guide to identifying and characterizing individual cytokines and provides a review of
cytokine biology. In addition, in providing a guide to some of the most useful techniques in cell and molecular biology, immunology, and biochemistry, it will be useful to workers in many different disciplines of biomedical research.
In this second edition, many important new techniques have been added including methods for developing cytokine transgenic mice, measuring soluble cytokine receptors, and assays for newly discovered cytokines (up to 1L-14). Each chapter has been updated in line with current experiments.
Table of Contents

- 3. Northern analysis, ribonuclease protection and in situ analysis of cytokine messenger RNA
- 4. Polymerase chain reaction to quantitate cytokine mRNA
- 5. Comparative polymerase chain reaction
- 6. Receptor binding studies
- 7. Measurement of cytokine induction of PC-specific phospholipase C and sphingomyelinases
- 8. Two dimensional gel elctrophoresis for purification, sequencing and identification of cytokine-induced proteins in normal and malignant cells
- 9. Antiviral activity of cytokines
- 10. Assays for human B cell responses to cytokines
- 11. T cells and cytokines
- 12. The generation and quantitation of cell-mediated toxicity

Description
Cytokines are important mediators of immunity, inflammation, and cell growth and are relevant to many areas of biomedical research. This book, now in its second edition, provides detailed up-to-date practical information for the study of cytokines and their receptors, including guides to many of the most useful current techniques in cell and molecular biology, immunology, and biochemistry. In all it contains 184 protocols, providing a comprehensive resource for researchers in many disciplines of biomedical research. This book is intended for postgraduate and postdoctural researchers in immunology, infectious diseases, autommunity, oncology, and biomedical research in general.
