T-Cell Repertoire Characterization by Huang, Huang; Davis, Mark M.;

Hosszú leírás:

This volume provides a comprehensive compilation of protocols in T cell repertoire analysis, from the leading experts in the field, representing both well-established methods and cutting-edge advances. Chapters broadly cover the emerging new T cell subsets, sequencing technologies for capturing TCR repertoire, and computational tools for analyzing an ever-growing TCR repertoire, with a particular focus on how to link the sequence with TCR antigen specificity. Written in the successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols, and notes on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Authoritative and cutting-edge, T-Cell Repertoire Characterization aims to be a useful practical guide to researches to help further their study in this field.
