Manual of Molecular and Clinical Laboratory Immunology (ASM Books)

__THE authoritative guide for clinical laboratory immunology__ For over 40 years the __Manual of Molecular and Clinical Laboratory Immunology__ has served as the premier guide for the clinical immunology laboratory. From basic serology testing to the present wide range of molecular analyses, the __Manual__ has reflected the exponential growth in the field of immunology over the past decades. This eighth edition reflects the latest advances and developments in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with infectious and immune-mediated disorders. The __Manual__ features detailed descriptions of general and specific methodologies, placing special focus on the interpretation of laboratory findings, and covers the immunology of infectious diseases, including specific pathogens, as well as the full range of autoimmune and immunodeficiency diseases, cancer, and transplantation. Written to guide the laboratory director, the __Manual__ will also appeal to other laboratory scientists, especially those working in clinical immunology laboratories, and pathologists. It is also a useful reference for physicians, mid-level providers, medical students, and allied health students with an interest in the role that immunology plays in the clinical laboratory.
