From the book reviews:"This book offers insights and protocols regarding 16 assays used by scientists studying the workings of the immune system, particularly with respect to autoimmunity. ... It is intended for scientists who are interested in reviewing the theory behind a technique and/or tips for conducting it. Clinicians trying to gain a better understanding of scientific techniques as they are appraising the primary literature in their field also could presumably use it."
