Antibody Applications Essential Techniques

Antibodies have become one of the most important tools in the areas of cell and molecular biology. Antibodies offer a unique combination of sensitivity and specificity that surpasses nearly all other detection systems. Hence immunoassays of all types are now widely used in many areas of research. This book describes in clear, very precise protocols the whole range of important immunodetection methods in current use in cell and molecular biology and as such it will be essential for anyone either using or about to use antibody techniques in their work. The Essential Techniques Series books are designed to provide you with immediate access to the protocols you require every day. These handy pocket-sized manuals are easy to carry around, and conveniently spiral bound making them ideal for lab bench work. Written by experienced laboratory researchers, each book in the Essential Techniques Series gives up-to-date, tried and tested practical information for the life scientist. For each key technique these books:introduce the most commonly used methods,explain the advantages and disadvantages of the methods, and give advice on which procedure to use,provide easy to follow step-by-step protocols, with experimental notes and tips on where to pause, plus information on safety and suppliers.Delves, Peter J. is the author of 'Antibody Applications Essential Techniques' with ISBN 9780471956983 and ISBN 0471956988.
