About this Research Topic
Introduction and general guidelines:
This series aims to highlight the latest experimental techniques and methods used to investigate fundamental questions in Immunology research, with a focus on Autoimmune and Autoinflammatory Disorders. Review articles or opinions on methodologies or applications including the advantages and limitations of each are welcome. This Topic includes technologies and up-to-date methods which help advance science.
The contributions to this collection will undergo peer review. Novelty may vary, but the utility of a method or protocol must be evident. We welcome contributions covering all aspects of Autoimmune and Autoinflammatory Disorders. Submissions will be handled by the team of Topic Editors in the respective sections.
This Research Topic welcomes:
• Methods: Describing either new or existing methods that are significantly improved or adapted for specific purposes. These manuscripts may include primary (original) data.
• Protocols: Detailed descriptions, including pitfalls and troubleshooting, to benefit those who may evaluate or employ the techniques. The protocols must be proven to work.
• Perspective or General Commentaries on methods and protocols relevant for physiology research.
• Reviews and mini-reviews of topical methods and protocols highlighting the important future directions of the field.
Specific subtopics of focus could include:
• Rnaseq single cell and single nucleus
• BCR cloning and expression
• Eli spot for B and T cells
• Flow and intracellular flow
• ATACseq
• DNA methylomes
• Christina modifications
