Clinical Immunodiagnostics: Laboratory Principles and Practices Laboratory Principles and Practices

Clinical Immunodiagnostics: Lab Principles and Practice is a forward-focused text that reimagines the usual classroom study by focusing on the theoretical principles underlying different diagnostic tests performed in the clinical lab. The text cultivates an understanding of clinical immunology, serology, and immunodiagnostics for use in the diagnostic clinical lab and discusses conceptual overlaps with blood banking (immunohematology), transfusion medicine, infectious disease, cellular phenotyping, and oncology as they pertain to immunology-based clinical diagnostics. Examination of both the classical and contemporary methods used in immunodiagnostics as they are described by the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) and through the American Society of Clinical Laboratory Sciences (ASCLS) entry-level curriculum (ELC) documents Step-by-Step Procedures provide clear and easy-to-follow steps to help with student learning and retention Case Studies with challenging real-world scenarios assess student knowledge and aid critical-thinking skills A Deeper Look box features expand upon specific chapter concepts and define important key terms Clinical Immunology Clinical Serology Immunodiagnostics © 2021 | 400 pages
