The third edition of this
volume is aimed at providing both beginners and more experienced researchers a
choice of methods to isolate and analyze dendritic cells(DC). An introductory
review provides an overview of recent advances in the characterization of DC
subsets in mouse and human. While additional chapters provide methods to
culture human and mouse dendritic cells, protocols for the isolation of
dendritic cells, the isolation of dendritic cell progenitors from mouse, and
the purification of dendritic cells from human blood. Written in the highly
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 laboratory protocols, and tips on
troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Authoritative and
cutting-edge,  Dendritic Cell
Protocols, Third Edition aims to ensure successful results in the further
study of this vital field.
