Covalently Modified Antigens and Antibodies in Diagnosis and Therapy (TARGETED DIAGNOSIS AND THERAPY)

Based on a symposium in Lyon, France, in June 1989. Eleven papers survey the use of antibodies, vaccines, and anti-ideotypes in tumor therapy; discuss a variety of immunoconjugates for diagnosis and therapy in which the antibodies are coupled to a range of proteins, chemotherapeutic agents and isotypes; and explore a series of systems in which antibodies (and/or antigens) are used in, in vitro diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. Of interest to researchers in a wide range of medical and biological fields. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
