Weir's Handbook of Experimental Immunology (Four-Volume Set)

The new fifth edition of the highly acclaimed Handbook of Experimental Immunology has been completely restructured and extensively revised to reflect the considerable increase in the importance of immunology as a research discipline. Produced in four volumes (available for separate purchase) or as a set, the text provides a complete reference, including experimental protocols and explications of general principles. Each section contains overviews and chapters describing the background and technical detail of a comprehensive range of immunological procedures in immunochemistry, cellular immunology, genetics and molecular immunology, and the application of immunological methods. All material available within the four-volume text can be found on this new dual-platform CD-ROM, including the extended indexing and cross-referencing possible with electronic media. The CD-ROM also comprises several of the lengthy and highly informative contributions, which were abridged in the printed version. Also included are additional notes and illustrations, which extend the scope of the material, and a statistical software package, which complements the statistical section of the printed version.
