Methods Of Immunological Analysis Methods Of Immunological Analysis

Everyone conducting analyses using immunological methods should read METHODS OF IMMUNOLOGICAL ANALYSIS. Now available! Three detailed volumes supplying a complete practice-oriented introduction to immunoanalysis. A set in themselves, they provide an extraordinarily comprehensive and up-to-date depiction of these methods. Both specialists and non-specialists will appreciate the broad scope of this set: It covers a wide area of the life sciences, chemistry and medicine, adjusted to the extensive applicability of immunoanalytical techniques. We at VCH feel that there is a definite need for this indispensable new series. Immunoanalysis is widely practised by analysts whose interests or training are not primarily in immunology. They clearly need the guidance that a good reference work provides. Furthermore, the range of immunochemical methods itself is so broad and its techniques so varied that even specialist immunologists and immunochemists find it difficult to assess different possible analytical approaches. They, too, need the support of an extensive reference work. Save 20% by subscribing to the series by 30 June 1993!

Volume 3: The latest in the MIA series, which is a remarkable practice-oriented account of immunological analysis. Volumes 1, 2 and 3 provide an extraordinarily comprehensive and up-to-date depiction of methods of immunological analysis. Volume 1 deals predominantly with methodological aspects of immunoassay formats and systems. Volume 2 covers the pre-analytical phase and the production and characterization of reagents. Volume 3 is concerned with the approach to using immunological methods for the analysis of cells and tissues. In the first sections, the methods necessary for the isolation of cells from many different tissues are described, with the emphasis upon human cells. Moreover, the various approaches to the use of antibody-based methods in immunocytochemistry are delineated. Their comparative uses and performance are discussed in critical detail. The last part of the volume considers the ways in which immune cells can be analysed by methods conventionally understood by immunologists, but not necessarily using antibodies. A brief summary of major topics in Volume 3: *preparation of Cells and Tissues * Cell Culture * Cell Fractionation and Purification * Methods of Phenotype Analysis * Immunoanalysis of Cell Function * Analysis of Immune Cell Function.

Methods in Immunology: Volume II, Physical and Chemical Methods is a collection of papers dealing with electrophoresis, analytical ultracentrifugation, dialysis, ultrafiltration, cellulose ion exchangers, and chromatographic separation of macromolecules on porous gels. Some papers explain the applications of radioisotopes, optical analysis, and chemical analysis of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acid. One paper describes the theory of electro-migration. Factors such as electrical charge or frictional coefficients govern the rate of migration of charged particles in an electric field. The differences found in their velocities can be used to separate substances or analyze them. Mobility is a characteristic property of molecules and can also be influenced by the composition of the medium or solution. Dialysis separates solvents too large to diffuse through a barrier from smaller solutes; ultrafiltration (reverse osmosis) forces solvent and solutes up to a certain critical size through the barrier by a high pressure on one side. The book notes that the membrane never becomes plugged in dialysis because of some opposite movement of the solvent. Another paper points out that the significance of radioactive tracers in immunochemistry employed to identify and label macromolecules functioning as antigens and antibodies. The collection can prove valuable to bio-chemists, cellular biologists, micro-biologists, developmental biologists, and scientists involved in immunological research.
