Abstract
The study of humoral and cellular responses to mucins requires many of the standard immunologic techniques, although working with molecules as large as mucins sometimes leads to logistic problems. This chapter focuses on some of the techniques that may be used to analyze the immune response to mucins using dendritic cells to present mucin peptides.
