| Publisher Description: This volume provides a complete description of the principles, methodologies and applications of monoclonal antibodies, one of the most exciting developments to occur in biotechnology in recent years, and a powerful technology for modern industry and science. The immune system and the role of the antibody are described and full details are given on how the hybridomas are formed, isolated, and maintained in culture such that the required antibody can be produced to a high degree of purity. The authors describe all the methodologies involved, all the reagents and solutions and all the assay conditions required for their production. The material is presented to enable research and development managers to make choices as to which are the most suitable techniques for their requirements. The book is comprehensively referenced, and will be a necessary resource for all those who are involved with this technology. |
