Cell Surface Receptors: A Short Course on Theory and Methods

This text is a primer for the study of cell surface receptors. The simplified discussion of methods and their underlying principles aims to remove the usual intimidation caused by the specialized vocabulary or sophisticated mathematics that characterize many of the primary papers in this field. In this way, the basic concepts become emphasized. This volume provides a starting point - a textbook as well as a manual to which the investigator can return for a refresher course, when needed.
