This book reveals the morphological correlate of antigen presentation in rodents. The method of immunoquenching of fluorescence described in this book is new and of considerable interest since it combines retrograde labeling and subsequent immunophenotypical characterization of cells.
A main benefit of the book is the careful approach combined with modern methods of research. The result showing that the antigen-presenting cells of the rodent central nervous system are not the microglial cells but the perivascular cells is also very promising for future investigations.
