This edition provides a collection of state-of-art methods and tools for human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) research. The book explores updated as well as novel in silico tools, resources, and wet lab protocols for HLA typing, including determination of the HLA class I and class II type of an individual in clinical work and research, such as in transplantation medicine and vaccine development in the context of infectious diseases or cancer immunotherapies. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include the kind of detailed information and implementation advice that leads to best results. Up-to-date and practical, HLA Typing: Methods and Protocols, Second Edition serves as a valuable resource for any researcher interested in learning more about this vital field.
