Download or read book Immunofluorescence in Clinical Immunology written by Wulf B. Storch and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immunofluorescence, a suitable laboratory method for the microscopic demonstration of antigens and antibodies in biological materials, useable, for example, to provide evidence for the pathogenesis of disease in histological or cytological preparations and for tumour cell differentiation. For this reason immunofluorescence has a decisive role as the method of choice for the diagnosis of auto-immune diseases. This primer on immunofluorescence techniques, which first appeared in 1979, is a richly illustrated handbook suitable for everyday practical work in the laboratory, useable as both an introduction to the subject as well as an atlas. In hardly any other area of medicine are there so many new findings to report. The second edition of this book is concerned not only with the detection methods which now form an essential and established part of diagnostic techniques, but also with the most recent research results such as the discovery of antibodies against Auerbach's plexus and against podocytes...
Download or read book Basic Serological Testing written by Rowa Yousef Alhabbab and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-05-23 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses in detail various serological tests that are used to identify medical conditions and diseases, from a general overview of each test to the equipment and steps needed to carry them out. The book is aimed specifically at immunology students and professionals who may occasionally need to use these tests, and thus lack training and experience in performing them. The book provides a brief overview of the immune system, including antibodies, antigens, and their interactions. The bulk of the book is comprised of 16 chapters that each explain different serological tests. These chapters start with a general introduction of the test or disease being detected, followed by the test principle, reagents required for the test, procedures and steps to perform the test, and, finally, result interpretation. Both test principles and result interpretation segments include illustrations to aid comprehension. In addition, the book also enables the reader to distinguish between positive and negative results in serological testing.

Download or read book Clinical Immunology written by Catherine Sheehan and published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. This book was released on 1997 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introducing clinical immunology, this text offers detailed instruction in immunobiology, lab methods and clinical serology, and is divided into three sections, covering the whole scope of clinical immunology. Coverage includes: immune reactions by the human host in response to a challenge; fundamental mechanisms of the immune system; antigens and antibodies and their interaction in serologic testing; the principles of "in vitro" serologic reactions and the sources of error and quality control in testing; and immunologic diseases in which measurement of an immune product or reaction is a significant tool for diagnosing or monitoring the disease. Features new to this edition include: chapter outlines; learning objectives; colour plates; review questions; and case studies. New chapters highlight: nucleic acid probes and blotting techniques; spriochetal infection and serology; Burrelia Burgdorfei infections and serology; and transplantations.

Download or read book Handbook of Direct Immunofluorescence written by Douglas Fullen and published by JP Medical Ltd. This book was released on 2018-03-18 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immunofluorescence is a key diagnostic tool in dermatopathology, and essential in the diagnosis of connective tissue diseases, vasculitis and other cutaneous disorders. The need to interpret the results of immunofluorescence testing, and correlate these with histopathological results, is a key skill required not just of dermatopathologists but also, increasingly, of dermatologists who either read the slides themselves or use a pathology lab or academic referral centre. Handbook of Direct Immunofluorescence covers not only day-to-day findings but also less common patterns and rarities, and gives information on important diagnostic pitfalls. Each chapter is dedicated to a specific disease and is introduced by concise text that describes the clinical presentation and pathogenesis: then, multiple images show the range of histopathological and immunofluorescence findings associated with the disease in question. Key points Practical, clinically oriented coverage provides invaluable resource for dermato-, oral and general pathologists, as well as dermatologists Includes invaluable information on technical aspects (specimen procurement, transportation, etc) as well as guidance on interpreting histopathological and immunofluorescence findings Pattern-based approach serves as logical framework for reaching a diagnosis, as well as understanding when to order additional tests and how to recognise nonspecific findings

Download or read book Rapid Methods and Automation in Microbiology and Immunology written by K.-O. Habermehl and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 745 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rapid progress in molecular biology, genetic engineering, and basic research in immunology has opened up new possibilities for application to diagnostic procedures and to clinical research. In a short period a new era of diagnosis dawned, covering nearly all fields of microbiology, immunology, and food technology. In consequence of this rapid development, scientists of many disciplines are involved studying infections of humans, animals, and plants or working in technical microbiology. The application of the newest findings of basic research to diagnostic work and to clinical research covers nearly all fields of microbiology and immunology. Moreover, it underlines the close relationship between diagnosis, therapy, and epidemiology. An outstanding example of these connections is given by the recent development of hepatitis B vaccine. The discovery and identification of a non cultivable agent by physicochemical and immunological methods were the heralds of a new era in the prevention of infectious diseases. This book provides an up-to-date, comprehensive review of developments and future aspects in various fields. I am convinced that the authors have succeeded in furnishing a large variety of new ideas and possibilities. K.-O.
