This volume presents standard approaches and the most recent technical advances used to study
innate immune activation. Chapters detail the assessment of macrophage activation measuring
innate immune responses to bacterial viability quantification of secreted proteins reporter
systems protocols examining specific innate immune activation by TLRs RLRs cGAS and
inflammasomes. 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 practical Innate Immune Activation: Methods and
Protocols aims to be a useful and informative reference tool for further study into this vital
field.
