Author Description

Due to the specificity and reliability of the antigen-antibody reaction, immunocytochemical techniques are now widely employed in research and diagnostic laboratories, enabling the identification, and often the quantification, of specific antigens present in a biological sample. This volume is a comprehensive guide to practical immunocytochemistry. It covers both general principles and detailed techniques including immunolabelling for light and electron microscopy. More specialized applications of the antigen-antibody reaction such as in situ hybridization are also included. An invaluable text for all researchers and technicians who already use immunocytochemistry in their work or plan to do so.
