This volume provides current and new advanced methods and protocols to study T cells. Chapters guide readers through T cell diversity using mass cytometry, analyzing T cells from single cell level, CRISPR/Cas9 techniques to study the T cell activation, techniques to study subsets of Tcell's, procedures to study artificial antigen presentosomes for T cell activation, techniques to study the T cell development, two-photon microscopy, and MAIT cells. 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, T-Cell Receptor Signaling: Methods and Protocols aims to provide a wide range of approaches and be an invaluable resource for present and future generations of T cell researchers.

Includes cutting-edge methods and protocols Provides step-by-step detail essential for reproducible results Contains key notes and implementation advice from the experts
