Publisher's Synopsis
Quantitative Bioassay covers the practical aspects of the different assays available, introduces immunology and assesses the merits of alternative methods of analysis. There is a very useful section on experimental design and a discussion on the use of assays for quantitative analysis. The book includes a description of the properties and production of polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies which should prove particularly useful to chemists and biochemists with no training in immunology who find themselves using these methods, many of which are available in kit form. It will also serve as a useful basis for further reading by anyone undertaking the establishment of new methods themselves.
