An Introduction to Radioimmunoassay and Related Techniques: Volume 6

Immunoassay procedures (isotopic and non-isotopic) have become one of the single most important techniques in present-day diagnostic medicine. This book is designed as an introductory test for the staff of clinical research laboratories who conduct or intend to conduct such techniques, and should be of value to the clinicians who make use of such services. The volume takes a three-pronged approach in its in-depth presentation: explanation of the basic principles and applications of radioimmunoassays and non-isotopic immunoassays; practical illustrations of the various steps involved in immunoassays; and discussion of the problems and pitfalls in immunoassays and how to avoid them. This fifth revised edition is a worthy successor to its predecessors in this “Laboratory Techniques” series.
