Book Description
This book discusses in detail various serological tests that are used to identify medical conditions and diseases, from a general overview of each test to the equipment and steps needed to carry them out. The book is aimed specifically at immunology students and professionals who may occasionally need to use these tests, and thus lack training and experience in performing them. The book provides a brief overview of the immune system, including antibodies, antigens, and their interactions. The bulk of the book is comprised of 16 chapters that each explain different serological tests. These chapters start with a general introduction of the test or disease being detected, followed by the test principle, reagents required for the test, procedures and steps to perform the test, and, finally, result interpretation. Both test principles and result interpretation segments include illustrations to aid comprehension. In addition, the book also enables the reader to distinguish between positive and negative results in serological testing.

Reactions of Antibodies with Soluble Antigens
Author: Curtis A. Williams
Publisher: Academic Press
ISBN: 1483220583
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 536
Book Description
Methods in Immunology and Immunochemistry, Volume III: Reactions of Antibodies with Soluble Antigens provides information pertinent to antigen–antibody and hapten–antibody reactions in vitro, in free solution and in gels. This book presents the development of research in immunology and immunochemistry. Organized into three chapters, this volume begins with an overview of protein–antiprotein reactions. This text then discusses the inhibitory activity of protein fragments, which suggested that antigenic combining sites of proteins were limited regions of the whole antigen molecule. Other chapters consider the measurement of inhibitory activity, which is still the principal assay to characterize antigenic sites of proteins. This book discusses as well the immunological techniques prior to the development of gel-diffusion methods. The final chapter deals with fluorescence labeling techniques that provide powerful approaches for exploring the thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of antigen–antibody interactions. This book is a valuable resource for mathematicians and immunologists.

Book Description
Cancer and Chemotherapy, Volume III: Antineoplastic Agents is a collection of articles that deals with the treatment of cancer using drugs. The collection describes the various drugs that are used, the therapeutic approaches being taken, and agents that are being developed. Part I is a general review of anti-cancer drugs as regards their action mechanisms, pharmacokinetics, pharmacology, known toxicities, and clinical utility. These drugs include alkylating agents such as mitomycin C and nitrosoureas; plant alkaloids such as maytansine; antibiotics such as anthracyclines; platinum-containing complexes; antimetabolites; and hormones. Part II examines the molecular pharmacology of some major drug classes, namely, bleomycin and anthracycline. The text also discusses the chemistry, mechanism, and any structure-activity relationships found in these drug classes. Part III discusses in detail the clinical pharmacology of some antitumor drugs, for example, cisplatin and nitrosoureas. The text includes the clinical applications, biochemistry, metabolism, and the use of mathematical models in interpreting or describing resulting data. The book is helpful for pharmacologists, molecular biologists, and scientists involved in cancer-research.

Human Blood Groups
Author: Geoff Daniels
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1118493540
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 950
Book Description
Human Blood Groups is a comprehensive and fully referenced text covering both the scientific and clinical aspects of red cell surface antigens, including: serology, inheritance, biochemistry, molecular genetics, biological functions and clinical significance in transfusion medicine. Since the last edition, seven new blood group systems and over 60 new blood group antigens have been identified. All of the genes representing those systems have now been cloned and sequenced. This essential new information has made the launch of a third edition of Human Blood Groups, now in four colour, particularly timely. This book continues to be an essential reference source for all those who require clinical information on blood groups and antibodies in transfusion medicine and blood banking.
