| Summary |
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Methods and Protocols describes a number of genetic, biochemical and immunological techniques. These techniques provide an?advancing understanding of the pathology, breakdown of the immune system, and therapeutic challenges of SLE in both humans and animal models. 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 key tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls |
