An Introduction to Radioimmunoassay and Related Techniques: Vol.6, Part 2 (Laboratory Techniques in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology) (Volume 6.2)

Immunoassay procedures have become one of the most important techniques in present-day diagnostic medicine. The move to non-radioactive tracers, the switch from polyclonal to monoclonal antibodies, and from labelled antigens to labelled antibodies are fully acknowledged and reflected in this volume.
The book describes the general principles of immunoassay and the technical requirements and characteristics of such assays. Whenever appropriate, specific practical examples are given which describe in detail the preparation of materials and the conduct of an assay. Both principles and practice are illustrated by a wealth of diagrams and illustrations.
An Introduction to Radioimmunoassay and Related Techniques is designed as an introductory text for the staff of clinical or research laboratories who conduct or intend to conduct such techniques, and will also be of great value to the clinicians who make use of such services.
The emphasis is on general principles with practical illustrations rather than a detailed and encyclopaedic review of the literature.

...a very detailed exposition of non-isotopic procedures. It also fully reflects the other major changes since 1978 which include the switch from polyclonal to monoclonal antibodies and from the use of labelled antigens to labelled antibodies.
