This comprehensive volume provides a detailed collection of laboratory protocols for studying asthma in mice and humans. The chapters cover various aspects of asthma research, including animal models, methods to measure asthma-related molecules, techniques to detect, isolate, culture, and stimulate cells contributing to asthma in mice and humans, as well as methods to deplete these cells in vivo and study responses of intact airway tissues ex vivo. Written in the format of the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, each chapter includes an introduction to the topic, a list of necessary materials and reagents, tips on troubleshooting and known pitfalls, and step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols.

Authoritative and cutting-edge, Asthma: Methods and Protocols aims to serve as a foundation for future studies and a source of inspiration for new investigations in the field. By offering a comprehensive and up-to-date collection of protocols, this book will be invaluable to researchers, scientists, and clinicians interested in understanding the mechanisms underlying asthma and developing new treatments for this prevalent respiratory condition.
