Immunoassays: A Practical Approach

Immunoassays: A Practical Approach
by J.R.G. Gosling (Editor)

Product details
* Paperback: 324 pages
* Publisher: Oxford University Press (30 Jun 2000)
* Language English
* ISBN-10: 0199637105
* ISBN-13: 978-0199637102

Book Description
Immunoassays is the first practical volume designed to help any biologist develop an immunoassay of any common format for any suitable analyte. The basic principles are described and the choices of assay types and formats listed. Methods for raising and for characterizing antibodies, for preparing radioactive, enzymatic, fluorescent and other labels, are described. Solid-phase reagents, standards and immunogens are explained, with procedures for their preparation. But most components can be obtained commercially and comprehensive lists of suppliers are given. Approaches to combining the reagents and optimizing the required assay are described, including how to eliminate common interferences, and thorough validation procedures are given. Manual and computer methods for the calculation of concentrations are explained. Since only assays that are within control give valid results, a graded and comprehensive approach to internal and external quality assurance methods detailed, including how to prepare control samples.

PCR Detection of Microbial Pathogens

PCR Detection of Microbial Pathogens: Methods and Protocols
by Colta Feller Ives (Author), Konrad Sachse (Author), Joachim Frey (Author)

Product Details
* Hardcover: 334 pages
* Publisher: Humana Press; 1 edition (2003)
* Language: English
* ISBN-10: 1588290492
* ISBN-13: 978-1588290496

Abstract:
Hands-on laboratory experts present a set of “classic” PCR-based methods for the identification and detection of important animal and food microbial pathogens, including several zoonotic agents. These proven techniques can be precisely applied to a wide variety of microbes, among them Campylobacter spp., chlamydiae, toxigenic clostridia, Escherichia coli (STEC), Listeria monocytogenes, mycoplasmas, salmonellae, and Yersinia enterocolitica. Additional chapters review the specificity and performance of diagnostic PCR analysis, the pre-PCR processing of samples, the critical aspects of standardizing PCR methods, and the general issues involved in using PCR technology for microbial diagnosis.
