Opis

Innate DNA and RNA Recognition: Method and Protocols presents validated experimental strategies to dissect nucleic acid sensing in-vitro and in-vivo sources. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.Authoritative and practical, Innate DNA and RNA Recognition: Method and Protocols provides a resource for immunologists, molecular biologists, virologists, microbiologists and researchers studying how the innate immune system handles nucleic acids from endogenous or foreign sources.
