Immunology and Molecular Diagnostics by Dr Jayanti Tokas
Book Summary:
The book ""Immunology and Molecular Diagnostics"" has been comprehensively written for all undergraduate (B.E., B.Tech., B.Sc.) and postgraduate (M.Sc., M.Tech.) students of Biotechnology, Biochemistry, Life Sciences and others studying Immunology and Molecular Diagnostics as one of the subjects. The book contains basics for the beginners to learn easily. Each chapter is independent and self-contained. Text is up-to-date, readable (line diagrams are used) and can be easily understood by the students. This book brings into focus those aspects of immuno-diagnostics that are particularly valuable for students who have inclination to be innovative and creative keeping their spirit alive. It provides a resource for research and students interested in learning about the techniques themselves including their capabilities and limitations. This book is an attempt to provide a consolidated account of different topics in immunology and diagnostics which are not available in other textbooks.
Audience of the Book :
