Overview

Chemokines are major mediators of immune cells and are involved in a wide range of proinflammatory human diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and organ transplant rejection. It has recently been discovered that their receptors are involved in HIV infection. The characterization of these molecules and their receptors is thus of primary importance in understanding a number of human diseases and infections. This volume and its companion Volume 288 on Chemokine Receptors provide comprehensive experimental protocols used in this field of research.

"Praise for the Series ""The Methods in Enzymology series represents the gold-standard."" --NEUROSCIENCE ""Incomparably useful."" --ANALYTICAL BIOCHEMISTRY ""It is a true 'methods' series, including almost every detail from basic theory to sources of equipment and reagents, with timely documentation provided on each page."" --BIO/TECHNOLOGY ""The series has been following the growing, changing and creation of new areas of science. It should be on the shelves of all libraries in the world as a whole collection."" --CHEMISTRY IN INDUSTRY ""The appearance of another volume in that excellent series, Methods in Enzymology, is always a cause for appreciation for those who wish to successfully carry out a particular technique or prepare an enzyme or metabolic intermediate without the tiresome prospect of searching through unfamiliar literature and perhaps selecting an unproven method which is not easily reproduced."" --AMERICAN SOCIETY OF MICROBIOLOGY NEWS ""If we had some way to find the work most often consulted in the laboratory, it could well be the multi-volume series Methods in Enzymology...a great work."" --ENZYMOLOGIA ""A series that has established itself as a definitive reference for biochemists."" --JOURNAL OF CHROMATOGRAPHY"
