Basic Methods in Antibody Production and Characterization
| ISBN-10: | 0-8493-9445-7 |
| ISBN-13: | 978-0-8493-9445-4 |
Description
| General description | This manual uses a cookbook approach to presenting the methods for the production, characterization, and use of antibodies. Antibodies described include polyclonal and monoclonal and those made by the phage display. It focuses on specific aspects of antibodies and takes readers on a step-by-step process from antigen preparation to immunizations, adjuvants, screening, purification, storage, and applications. Ample references provide researchers with many applications pertaining to the technology. |
