The understanding of chemokines, the proteins that control the migration of cells, and their receptors, is critical to the study of causes and therapies for a wide range of human diseases and infections, including certain types of cancer, inflammatory diseases, HIV, and malaria. This volume, focusing on chemokine structure and function, as well as signaling, and its companion volume ("Methods in Enzymology" volume 461, focusing on chemokines as potential targets for disease intervention) provide a comprehensive overview and time-tested protocols in this field, making it an essential reference for researchers in the area.
Along with its companion volume, provides a comprehensive overview of chemokine methods, specifically as related to potential disease therapy
Gathers tried, tested, and trusted methods and techniques from top players in chemokine research
Provides an essential reference for researchers in the field

Chemokines, the latest volume in the Methods in Enzymology series, continues the legacy of this premier serial with quality chapters authored by leaders in the field. This volume covers research methods in chemokines, and includes sections on such topics as chemokine detection using receptors, tracking cellular responses to chemokines, recognition of GAG-bound chemokines, and the production of chemokine receptor complexes for structural and biophysical studies.
