Synopsis

A detailed guide to the most important methods in use in this area today, this volume will be of interest to hematologists and researchers in many areas of basic and medical research. The cells and regulators involved in hemopoiesis are well characterized, providing biochemists and cell and molecular biologists with an exciting system in which to study normal and abnormal growth and differentiation. Rapid progress has also been made in the application of research techniques to human cells, giving rise to new therapeutic approaches to diseases such as leukemia. The collaborative effort of experts from leading research centers in the field, this work is a detailed guide to the most important methods in use in this area today, from cell culture to in vivo assays.

About this title

Review

'Despite the variety of authors, the style of the different sections has been made quite uniform, with an admirably simple layout that is welcoming to the reader ... a compact little handbook where queries can quickly be answered by consulting the excellent index followed by the clearly divided text of the relevant chapter. This is a handbook which will quickly find its way to the shelf of all laboratories engaged in studying mouse or human haemopoietic cells. It will be in constant use as a companion and guide.'Donald Metcalf, Royal Melbourne Hospital, Immunology Today, Vol. 15 No. 1 1994

The tried formula of technical chapters with very detailed recipes and extensive practical advice provide the information never published in any materials and methods sections ... a continued high level of quality is maintained ... Many of the techniques are pertinent to anyone working with cells in suspension in other fields of biological research and as such the book, especially at the price asked, should be attractive to many workers and laboratories active in other fields of research. (Cell Biology International, Vol. 18, No. 2, 1994)

Synopsis

A detailed guide to the most important methods in use in the area of experimental haematology, this volume should be of interest to haematologists and researchers in many areas of basic and medical research. The cells and regulators involved in haemopoiesis are well characterized, providing biochemists and cell and molecular biologists with an exciting system in which to study normal and abnormal growth and differentiation. Rapid progress has also been made in the application of research techniques to human cells, giving rise to new therapeutic approaches to diseases such as leukaemia. The book is aimed at postgraduates and researchers in haematology, cell biology, molecular biology and immunology.
