This volume reflects the rapid progress in the applications of this technique, providing a basic understanding of these techniques and a practical guideline for the choice and experimental detail.
1. Introduction. 2. Outline of the strategies for immunoassays. 3. Non-immunological molecular recognition systems used in immunoassays. 4. The nature of immunogens, antigens and haptens. 5. Production of antibodies. 6. The nature and structure of antibodies. 7. Purification of immunoglobulins and preparation of Fab fragments. 8. Kinetics and nature of antibody-antigen interactions. 9. The nature of enzyme activity in immunoassays. 10. Properties and preparation of enzymes used in enzyme immunoassays. 11. Preparation of enzyme-antibody or other enzyme-macromolecule conjugates. 12. Conjugation of haptens. 13. The immobilization of immunoreactants on solid phases. 14. Quantitative enzyme immunoassay techniques. 15.
