Summary As the field of antibody engineering continues its explosive growth, more and more scientists around the world are striving to keep up with the latest developments. Now in its second edition, Antibody Engineering is the perfect one-stop introduction to state-of-the-art technologies emerging in the field today. In presenting a practical overview of the engineering of recombinant human or mouse monoclonal antibodies, the book incisively addresses essential topics such as antibody structure relevant to engineering, recombinatorial cDNA libraries, phage display, synthetic and humanized antibodies, engineering of affinity and biological effector functions, and plant, mammalian, and bacterial expression vectors and hosts. Antibody Engineering, Second Edition - written by leading experts and now thoroughly updated - is a unique resource for current information on the subject. It will be welcomed by researchers in immunology, biotechnology, molecular biology, and biochemistry
