From the reviews: "The methods described in this book include step-by-step protocols to isolate cells that are involved in the innate immune response as well as a variety of other methods that could be useful. ... The book is written for laboratory researchers ... . It offers a detailed description of the reagents and procedures that are used for each of the protocols and could be used by immunologists, histologists, geneticists, and cell biologists. ... an excellent addition to any laboratory which could use these techniques."
