About this title

Review

"These books are part of a series, and present short methods and protocols that comprise a wide variety of disciplines and techniques from the very basic (e.g., basic cell culture) to more complex (e.g., lipoprotein analysis). In these two volumes, the authors have assembled an outstanding group of internationally-recognized experts who discuss the techniques that they use in analyses of Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) molecules (both class I and class II) and the T cells that recognize them. Volume 1 consists of 12 chapters that cover the most current cellular biology techniques used in the analysis of MHC molecules . . ., with some biochemistry . . . included. Volume 2 comprises 10 chapters that are mainly concerned with molecular and biochemical analyses of MHC class I and class II genes and their products. . . . [T]hese volumes could be a useful addition to the lab."--The Quarterly Review of Biology
