Since the publication of 'High-Resolution Electrophoresis And Immunofixation' (Second Edition), there have been ever-increasing advances in the analyses of proteins, by electrophoresis in particular.
This book shows the changes in both techniques and interpretation, presenting a comprehensive review of serum protein techniques, immunofixation techniques, approaches to pattern interpretation, and pattern interpretation in both cerebralspinal fluid and urine.
Conditions associated with Monoclunal Gammopathies are considered, as are the appropriate strategies for their detection. David Keren is well-known as the leader in this field, with his work on guidelines becoming the benchmark for all those involved in protein detection in serum and urine.
Dr Keren's book will be essential in every laboratory, and read by pathologists, chemical chemists, medical technicians and clinicians (particularly hematologists and oncologists).
