This detailed volume presents cutting-edge approaches to study infection, immunity, and intervention strategies against intracellular pathogens. The book explores areas such as how intracellular pathogens infect and survive inside the phagocytes, immunopathological features of infection, evasion of host-induced immune responses, cellular crosstalk in the presence of intracellular pathogens, host innate and adaptive immunity, and much more. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step and readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and practical, Intracellular Pathogens: Methods and Protocols serves as an ideal guide for researchers who work with intracellular pathogens and want to utilize or refine strategies to study, treat, or controlthem.
