Immunological Methods 

Immunological Methods, Volume II compiles procedures that are appropriate for studies in immunology. This book discusses the determination of equilibrium binding parameters of monoclonal antibodies specific for cell surface antigens; two-dimensional gel electrophoresis; and measurements of antibodies specific for DNA. The methods in surface physics for immunology; HLA-DR typing by complement-dependent B lymphocyte lysis; and protein A plaque assay for the detection of immunoglobulin-secreting cells are also elaborated. This text also covers the in vitro production and testing of antigen-induced mediators of helper T-cell function; limiting dilution analysis of precursors of cytotoxic T lymphocytes; and induction of antibody formation in mouse bone marrow. Other topics include the long-term culture and cloning of specific helper T cells; cloning of alloreactive T cells; and enzyme immunoassay for the detection of hybridoma products. This publication is valuable to immunologists and medical practitioners researching on immunological methods.
