About this book
The closing years of the 19th century and the start of the 20th century witnessed the emergence of microbiology and immunology as discrete sci- tific disciplines, and in the work of Roux and Yersin, perhaps the first benefits of their synergy—immunotherapy against bacterial infection. As we advance into the new millennium, microbiology and immunology again offer a c- ceptual leap forward as antibody phage display gains increasing acceptance as the definitive technology for monoclonal production and unleashes new - portunities in immunotherapy, drug discovery, and functional genomics. In assembling Antibody Phage Display: Methods and Protocols, we have aimed to produce a resource of real value for scientists who have followed the development of phage display technology over the past decade. The founding principles of phage display have always held an elegant simplicity. We hope that readers will find similar clarity in the technical guidance offered by the book’s contributors. In meeting our objectives, we have tried to cover the broad scope of the technology and the key areas of library construction, scre- ing, antibody modification, and expression. Of course, the technology cont- ues to advance apace, but we trust that readers will be able to gage the potential of phage display from our coverage, that some of its subtleties will emerge, and that our selection of methods will prove appealing. We are indebted to all the contributing authors for sharing their expertise with the wider scientific community.
Reviews
"...this book lives up to its promises. It starts with an excellent introduction by Hennie Hoogenboom, reprinted from his Immunotechnology article, which sets the scene and provides an overview of the field for new readers...Members of the laboratory that used the book for reference found it very clear and all were keen that the review was completed as quickly as possible so that the book was returned to the laboratory where they could make use of it! I think this in itself supports the fact that the book is a useful volume." - Immunology News
"As with other volumes in this popular series, each protocol is discussed in detail, including an introduction, materials, methods notes, and references. It is a good purchase for research libraries where monoclonal antibodies are studied." E-Streams
