NLR proteins: methods and protocols - 1417

This volume providesa sound basis for the molecular investigation of NLR function in health anddisease. Chapters focus on of innate immune receptors, "atypical"inflammasomes, biochemical and novel bioluminescencetechniques for the measurement of IL-1b,bioluminescent probe, biochemical and microscopytechniques, techniques to measure caspase-1 activation, cellfree systems for the study of inflammasome function, and inflammasomeactivation. Written in the highly successful Methodsin Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to theirrespective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step,readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting andavoiding known pitfalls.

Authoritativeand cutting-edge, NLR Proteins: Methodsand Protocols aims to ensure successful results in the further study ofthis vital field.
