Overview

The practical application of immunology and molecular biology to medicine has so far been greatest in the field of infectious diseases. This book provides a comprehensive account of the techniques now available for the development of serological tests in infectious diseases and their application to the serodiagnosis of infectious diseases. It will be of great value to the R and D scientists and technicians in hospitals, universities and industry as well as to medical microbiologists.
