"You'll begin with a basic review of immunology and progress through basic immunological procedures and immune disorders to the serological and molecular diagnosis of infectious disease. Detailed laboratory techniques make this a practical resource you'll turn to every day, now and throughout your career." Presents the must-have information you need to understand the essential principles of immunology and to master the serology techniques most commonly used in the laboratory. Easy-to-read, student-friendly coverage focuses on the direct application of theory to clinical laboratory practice.
