Download E-books Synthetic Peptides as Antigents PDF

By M.H.V. Van Regenmortel and S. Muller (Eds.)

This most modern version to the Laboratory concepts sequence offers present state-of-the-art use of artificial peptides in molecular biology and useful protocols on tips on how to conjugate peptides, immunize animals with peptides and display screen immune responses to peptides in vitro. It provides historical past info on antigenic specificity, prediction of antigenic websites in proteins and purposes of peptides in immunology and virology, as probes in analysis and as vaccines. The e-book additionally describes antigenicity of proteins and techniques to localize antigenic websites in addition to equipment for predicting epitoxes, and offers targeted protocols for peptide-carrier conjugation, immunization with peptides, and peptide immunoassays. the amount additionally describes commonplace use of antipeptide antibodies in molecular and mobile biology in addition to using peptides within the prognosis of viral infections and autoimmune ailments, and using peptides as power man made vaccines. a superb variation to a great sequence, on hand in hardbound and paperback.
