Malaria Immunology Summary

Malaria Immunology: Targeting the Surface of Infected Erythrocytes by Anja Tatiana Ramstedt Jensen

This volume covers a broad range of methods, technologies, and protocols on malaria. Chapters detail research on collecting parasites in the field, single molecule-level analyses of adhesive interactions, and focused studies aiming at disrupting the devastating disease. Written in the format of the highly successfulMethods in Molecular Biologyseries, each chapter includes an introduction to the topic, lists necessary materials and reagents, includes tips on troubleshooting and known pitfalls, and step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols.

Authoritative and cutting-edge,Malaria Immunology: Targeting the Surface of Infected Erythrocytes aims to be auseful and practical guide to researches to help further their study in this field.
