Praktikum und Atlas der Immunelektrophorese/ Immunoelectrophoresis Practical Guide and Atlas

More about the book

Twenty years after Grabar and Williams described the method of immunoelectrophoresis, this ingenious investigative procedure has firmly established itself in the analysis of protein mixtures. The great variety of blood proteins has become clear only through this method. Much diagnostic information relies on this investigative procedure, applicable to both blood protein analysis and the examination of protein-containing urine and cerebrospinal fluid. The differentiation of immunoglobulins was made possible by immunoelectrophoresis, allowing for further subdivision of antibody deficiency syndromes. Consequently, an immunoelectrophoretic investigation is often necessary in medical laboratory diagnostics for various reasons. The Laboratory Guide by Waldemar Schneider and Helmut Berndt introduces this essential technique, highlighting its significance in practical laboratory diagnostics.
