Reviews

. . .well illustrated with many data figures, diagrams, and tables. . .a useful addition to a medical or scientific library. ---Doody's Health Sciences Book Review Journal . . .provides a comprehensive, detailed description of a constantly expanding area of scientific research. . .The inclusion of this test in health science libraries is highly recommended. Scientists involved with the various aspects of immunochemical research will probably want to add this book to their personal collection for use by their research group. ---American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education The editors have done an excellent job in assembling this book. It will be useful to anyone wishing for an introduction to immunology and immunochemistry. . .an essential addition to the library. ---Journal of Medical Microbiology . . .an excellent source of reference that should prove useful to research workers and graduate students. ---Biochimie . . .a welcome addition to the bookshelf of any chemistry or biochemist interested in the molecular aspects of modern cell biology and immunology. ---Journal of the American Chemical Society
