This volume details experimental approaches used to investigate phagocytosis and phagosome
maturation. Chapters present methods and protocols on quantifying uptake and phagosome
maturation using biophysical and biochemical approaches proteomics microscopy and flow
cytometry. 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 tips on troubleshooting
and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and cutting-edge Phagocytosis and Phagosomes:
Methods and Protocols aims to be an important resource for both experts in the field and for
those investigators delving into phagocytosis and phagosome maturation for the first time.
