Book, Pharmaceutical Sciences Immunoassays Fundamentals and Application 2/18[LS]

The last decade has seen an impressive development in molecular biology. In this context, immunoassays play a prominent role, involving, in addition to the detection of antigens, antibodies and a series of complex molecules, tumor-specific markers or markers characteristic of various pathogens. Thus, the use of immunoassays has expanded from screening to therapeutic monitoring, allowing their use in the control and monitoring of the most diverse clinical conditions. The second edition of Immunoassays | Fundamentals and Applications, expanded and updated, is divided into two sections that comprise the fundamentals of immunoassay tests and their applications, both for diagnosis and for the study of aspects related to the pathophysiology of a wide spectrum of diseases. Important for all those who work in the area, this work not only allows the reader to acquire new knowledge, but also represents an important consultation tool.
