A handy lab manual that permits quick and easy access to the techniques
commonly used to analyse antibody specificity. Some of the most useful
immunological techniques based on antibodies are described, including
ELISA, immunoblotting and immunoprecipitation protocols that provide
useful tools for recognising immunological specificities, and basic
immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry procedures for the in situ
identification of antigens. The topics are discussed from a practical
point of view, describing the theoretical basis of each technique and
sample protocols plus a troubleshooting guide. Attention is focused on
the various aspects of the protocols described thus providing the reader
with the maximum possible information on each technique.
