The authors have completely revised their guide to the use of immunoglobin reagents in the laboratory, originally published as in 1988. Four introductory chapters summarize the key features of the immune response, the structures of the antibody molecule, the activities of antibodies, and the mechanism of the antibody response. The bulk of the book contains protocols for raising, purifying, and labeling monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies, and describing ways of using antibodies to study antigens. New chapters on tagging proteins and epitope mapping have been added. A supplemental set of "portable protocols" provide step-by-step instructions to shortened techniques for the major methods, printed on spill-proof durable cards. Spiral wire binding.
