Overview
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.
This book contains predominantly black-and-white illustrations, with some color illustrations.
