Features: This book is part of the "Experimenter" series. It is divided into ten chapters, comprehensively discussing antibodies, their sources, effects within the body, and their important role as immunological tools. The book introduces flow cytometry, immunoblotting, ELISA, and related immunological experiments, as well as cell separation techniques and in situ immunolocalization. It also highlights some key points in biostatistics that readers should be aware of. Like other books in the Experimenter series, this one focuses on explaining modern methods in a simple and easy-to-understand manner, discussing the advantages and limitations of each method. Due to the rapid development of immunology and related disciplines, the experimental methods introduced in this book may not all be new, nor does it cover every aspect of contemporary immunology. However, the methods presented are practical and reliable. They not only explain the principles of the methods but also provide detailed experimental procedures, analyze the reasons for success or failure, and compare them with other methods. Especially in the "Tips" section, the book reminds experimenters of potential issues that may arise during experiments, how to solve them, and how to ensure operator safety. The book also provides useful charts, background information, a glossary, a modern CD nomenclature table, and relevant product information to assist immunologists in their laboratory work. This book will be of great reference value to students, teachers, and researchers in basic medical sciences, clinical medicine, and various fields of biology related to immunology.
