This volume explores updated and entirely new experimental approaches used to investigate phagocytosis and phagosome maturation. In order to aid in the study of engulfment, maturation, resolution, and pathogen manipulation of phagocytes, the book features methodology to quantify uptake and maturation specific to certain phagocytes, particles, or pathogens, while other chapters offer methods that can be applied generically across the field. Methods are presented to study phagocytosis and phagosome maturation in vivo, in cellulo, and through in vitro analyses. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step and readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
