Monoclonal Antibodies: Production, Engineering and Clinical Application

This book is among the first to combine technical and clinical aspects of the subject. It aims to provide a unique combination of the production (by both cellular and molecular biology techniques), structure and functional characteristics of monoclonal antibodies, together with detailed discussions of the various analytic, diagnostic and therapeutic applications of these antibodies. Many areas of clinical medicine benefit from this type of study including histopathology, oncology, transplantation, infectious diseases, rheumatology, haematology, and dermatology.
