Description

Bacterial Immunoglobulin-Binding Proteins: Applications in Immunotechnology, Volume 2 covers the state of knowledge of bacterial immunoglobulin-binding proteins. The book focuses on practical approaches to isolation, characterization, and use of bacterial immunoglobulin-binding proteins. The majority of these studies involve the type I Fc-binding protein (staphylococcal protein A) and the type III Fc-binding protein (streptococcal protein G). Physiological chemists, pediatricians, and microbiologists will find the book invaluable.
