About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“This book is useful to scientists seeking to study the role of miRNAs in the immune system. … helpful to immunologists, biochemists, and molecular biologists interested in miRNA effects. The detailed protocols are invaluable to students and post-docs in particular. … The figures of the types of data one may obtain and the notes on troubleshooting are invaluable to both seasoned investigators and novice students.” (Elizabeth S. Raveche, Doody’s Review Service, February, 2011)
“Serves primarily as a recipe book, detailing all the latest methods one would need to further investigate the roles of microRNAs in this area of biology. It will appeal to both students who are new to the field … and molecular biologists who can keep it close as a handy reference material for planning and carrying out their experiments. … appealing to anyone from beginners to experts. … an attractive book for those interested in identifying and characterising particular miRNAs in the immune system.” (Daniel Peters, Immunology News, February, 2011)
