More About This Title The Principles & Practice of Diagnostic Immunology
English
Physicians, scientists, medical technologists interested in diagnostic immunology are concerned with the determination of the body's immune status, measurement of the response to infection and the effects of over-and under-simulation of the response. Until now, there has been no book that covered this expanding and increasingly important field. 'The Principles and Practice of Diagnostic Immunology' details the art and science of diagnostic immunology. Unlike other books, this one is not about theories, but laboratory practice. Detailed coverage of procedures and techniques; comprehensive description of diagnostic immunology; explanation of methods and theories involved; full interpretation of the results; clinical correlations and rational for use of these tests; problem solving, what to do when the testing protocols don't work, are all covered throughly in this exciting new volume. Above all an enlightening section on laboratory management make this book an invaluable reference for all professionals and students interested in diagnostic immunology.
