Description
The acceptance of clinical immunology as an important medical speciality has resulted in rapid expansion in the use of the immunological investigations concerned. In the process many methods have been modified and there is wide variety for both clinical immunology tests offered and the techniques used in determining the results throughout the world. This book reflects the current practice of clinical imunology centres throughout the UK, Europe and North America. Not all of the tests covered are available in each centre, but most laboratories offering a clinical immunological service will undertake a high proportion of the methods described in this book. The book has been designed to emphasize the clinical states with which patients present; thus the failure of the immune system and its various components and their malignant transformation involve some overlap of techniques. Abberations of the immune response have been divided into autoimmunity and allergy, the former being divided, as it is clinically, into organ specific and non-organ specific varieties.

Description
In recent years, the quest for greater understanding of postimplantation mammalian development has led research workers to devise techniques which overcome the problems of inaccessibility posed by embryos in the uterus, and to adapt analytic techniques such as "in situ" hybridization and antibody labelling to the unique requirements of mammalian embryonic material. This book provides detailed practical instruction in these methods and additionally provides an illustrated account of the morphological stages of postimplantation development. Research workers in mammalian embryology will find this book valuable both as a laboratory manual and as a reference work. It also complements "Mammalian Development: A Practical Approach" which covers pre-implantation techniques.
