Affinity and Immunoaffinity Purification Techniques (Biotechniques Molecular Laboratory Methods Series, 5)

The application of affinity and immunoaffinity ligands as aids in the selective isolation of specific analytes is becoming an essential part of biological separation science. Phillips and Dickens (both of The George Washington U. Medical Center) present a guide to the principles and practices of affinity and immunoaffinity separation techniques. After a laboratory-oriented approach to constructing affinity and immunoaffinity matrices is presented, the most common applications of the techniques are discussed. Additionally, step-by-step procedures accompany each chapter. Plastic comb binding. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
