Phagocytosis and Phagosomes: Methods and Protocols

This volume explores updated and entirely new experimental approaches used to investigate phagocytosis and phagosome maturation, providing methodology to quantify uptake and maturation specific to certain phagocytes, particles, or pathogens. It features methods to study phagocytosis and phagosome maturation in vivo, in cellulo, and through in vitro analyses, with introductions to their respective topics, lists of necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step and reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
