Publisher's Synopsis
This text describes the state-of-the-art of monoclonal antibodies that react with molecules on the surface of human leucocytes, platelets, or endothelial cells, and will serve as a key source of information describing the present state of our knowledge of human leucocyte differentiation antigens. It summarizes the results of a two-year international collaboration to characterize these molecules by immunological, serologic, molecular, biochemical, and histochemical means. The CD-ROM version, using the Adobe Acrobat viewer, allows the extensive amount of data held in the book's 2000 pages to be rapidly searched by the user.
