Synopsis

The avidin-biotin complex has been used for isolation (affinity chromatography), localization (affinity cytochemistry, cell cytometry, and blotting technology), and diagnostics (immunoassay, histopathology, and gene probes). Recently, usage of the system has been extended to include other areas. This volume covers these new applications and methodologies including hybridoma technology, bioaffinity sensors, affinity targeting, and drug delivery, as well as cross-linking, immobilization, and fusogenic studies.

About this title

Review

Praise for the Volume
"This text would be useful for specialists in the areas of biophysics, biochemistry, immunology, molecular biology, etc., and others who are interested in the recent advances in avidin-biotin research."
--BIOLOGICAL ABSTRACTS
Praise for the Series
"The Methods in Enzymology series represents the gold-standard."
--NEUROSCIENCE
"Incomparably useful."
--ANALYTICAL BIOCHEMISTRY
"It is a true 'methods' series, including almost every detail from basic theory to sources of equipment and reagents, with timely documentation provided on each page."
--BIO/TECHNOLOGY
"The series has been following the growing, changing and creation of new areas of science. It should be on the shelves of all libraries in the world as a whole collection."
--CHEMISTRY IN INDUSTRY
"The appearance of another volume in that excellent series, Methods in Enzymology, is always a cause for appreciation for those who wish to successfully carry out a particular technique or prepare an enzyme or metabolic intermediate without the tiresome prospect of searching through unfamiliar literature and perhaps selecting an unproven method which is not easily reproduced."
--AMERICAN SOCIETY OF MICROBIOLOGY NEWS
"If we had some way to find the work most often consulted in the laboratory, it could well be the multi-volume series Methods in Enzymology...a great work."
--ENZYMOLOGIA
"A series that has established itself as a definitive reference for biochemists."
--JOURNAL OF CHROMATOGRAPHY
