| immunological techniques: Immunological Techniques in Insect Biology Lawrence I. Gilbert, Thomas A. Miller, 2012-12-06 Insects as a group occupy a middle ground in the biosphere between bacteria and viruses at one extreme, amphibians and mammals at the other. The size and general nature of insects present special problems to the study of ento mology. For example, many commercially available instruments are geared to measure in grams, while the forces commonly encountered in studying insects are in the milligram range. Therefore, techniques developed in the study of insects or in those fields concerned with the control of insect pests are often unique. Methods for measuring things are common to all sciences. Advances some times depend more on how something was done than on what was measured; indeed a given field often progresses from one technique to another as new methods are discovered, developed, and modified. Just as often, some of these techniques find their way into the classroom when the problems involved have been sufficiently ironed out to permit students to master the manipulations in a fewlaboratory periods. Many specialized techniques are confined to one specific research labora tory. Although methods may be considered commonplace where they are used, in another context even the simplest procedures may save considerable time. It is the purpose of this series (1) to report new developments in method ology, (2) to reveal sources of groups who have dealt with and solved particular entomological problems, and (3) to describe experiments which may be appli cable for use in biology laboratory courses. |

| immunological techniques: Immunological Techniques Using Fish Model - A Laboratory Manual R Dinakaran Michael, 2018-10-15 Hello there, immunology teachers of colleges and universities! Are you still struggling to design and develop laboratory exercises to demonstrate concepts of immunology to your undergrad and postgrad students using rabbits, guinea pigs and mice without a good animal house? All your problems are over. Here is an innovative and 'easy to follow' laboratory manual which has the procedures of many immunological techniques and assays using fish model. Using fish model is mainly to avoid the constraints of having and maintaining spacious air-conditioned animal house and animals like rabbits, guinea pigs and mice which are traditionally used for immunology laboratory exercises. Fishes have most of the immunological components, mechanisms and molecules found in higher vertebrates like rabbits, guinea pigs and mice though in a simpler style. Hence, fish is as an ideal vertebrate model for teaching and demonstrating the essential immunological concepts. The immunological exercises covered in this manual includes but not restricted to the basic techniques like dissection of lymphoid organs, preparation of leucocytes from these organs, antigen preparation, immunization and bleeding technique, and serum separation and assays like non-specific immune mechanisms like lysozyme activity and production of reactive oxygen by phagocytes, specific immune responses like antibody production, allograft rejection and DTH reaction, expression of immune related genes and vaccination and vaccine efficacy testing. Many of these techniques are being routinely used in institutions where the author served and also in institutions whose faculty fellows underwent training in the large number of training workshops conducted by the author. |

| immunological techniques: Immunological Techniques Made Easy Olivier Cochet, Jean-Luc Teillaud, Catherine Sautès, 1998-08-17 Immunological Techniques Made Easy Edited by Olivier Cochet, Biotechnology and Antibody Laboratory, Jean-Luc Teillaud and Catherine Sautès, INSERM Laboratory of Cellular and Clinical Immunology, Institut Curie, Paris, France. Here, at last, is a clear and concise guide to 100 of the most commonly used immunological techniques that can easily be performed by non-immunologists, and which assumes no prior knowledge of the techniques described. The idea for this book arose from the authors' observations that scientists in many fields of biomedical research needed, at some time or another, to perform an immunological technique applied to their own specific field of research. Existing manuals of immunological techniques are intended primarily for research immunologists and are either too detailed or assume background expertise that the user may not necessarily possess. Each technique is described step-by-step, in an easy-to-follow format, much like a cooking recipe, and is abundantly illustrated to give the user a clear understanding of what is happening at each stage. The book is edited by three experienced immunologists from the Curie Institute in Paris who have brought together an international panel of contributors, all of whom have hands-on expertise of the techniques they describe. Conveniently spiral-bound for easy use at the laboratory bench, the book will be a valuable resource for scientists who want a readily accessible reference to be able to perform immunological techniques successfully and painlessly. |
| immunological techniques: Experimental Approaches For The Investigation Of Innate Immunity: The Human Innate Immunity Handbook Richard Bucala, Ruth R Montgomery, 2016-01-15 The recent explosion of information in innate immune pathways for recognition, effect or responses, and genetic regulation has given impetus to investigations into analogous pathways in the human immune response, which in turn has produced attendant insights into both normal physiology and immunopathology.

| immunological techniques: Immunological Bioinformatics Ole Lund, Morten Nielsen, Claus Lundegaard, Can Kesmir, Søren Brunak, 2005-06-17 Using bioinformatics methods to generate a systems-level view of the immune system; description of the main biological concepts and the new data-driven algorithms. Despite the fact that advanced bioinformatics methodologies have not been used as extensively in immunology as in other subdisciplines within biology, research in immunological bioinformatics has already developed models of components of the immune system that can be combined and that may help develop therapies, vaccines, and diagnostic tools for such diseases as AIDS, malaria, and cancer. In a broader perspective, specialized bioinformatics methods in immunology make possible for the first time a systems-level understanding of the immune system. The traditional approaches to immunology are reductionist, avoiding complexity but providing detailed knowledge of a single event, cell, or molecular entity. Today, a variety of experimental bioinformatics techniques connected to the sequencing of the human genome provides a sound scientific basis for a comprehensive description of the complex immunological processes. This book offers a description of bioinformatics techniques as they are applied to immunology, including a succinct account of the main biological concepts for students and researchers with backgrounds in mathematics, statistics, and computer science as well as explanations of the new data-driven algorithms in the context of biological data that will be useful for immunologists, biologists, and biochemists working on vaccine design. In each chapter the authors show interesting biological insights gained from the bioinformatics approach. The book concludes by explaining how all the methods presented in the book can be integrated to identify immunogenic regions in microorganisms and host genomes. |
