Thisvolume summarizes current techniques; ranging from protocols for virus growth,isolation, quantification and generation of recombinant RSV virus to proceduresfor the efficient characterization of the host immune response to RSVinfection. These techniques are used in numerous laboratories around the worldand are the building blocks that support the majority of RSV virus research. Written in the highly successful Methods in MolecularBiology series format, chapters include introductions to their respectivetopics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readilyreproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoidingknown pitfalls.Authoritative and cutting-edge, Humana Respiratory Syncytial Virus:Methods and Protocols aims to ensure successful resultsin the further study of this vital field.
