Chapter 8 Bovine Immunoglobulin Genetics: Novel Phylogenetic PerspectiveChapter 9 Informatic Tools For Immunoglobulin Gene Sequence Analysis; Back Cover |
| Summary |
This contemporary book covers significant new knowledge that has emerged during the last two decades and, thus, provides novel antibody phylogenetic perspectives relevant to development of new antibody-based therapeutics and vaccines. It fills a much-needed niche in the area of immunoglobulin genetics across species from a comparative perspective. New insights and perspectives from immunoglobulin genetics from species such as sea lamprey, cattle, marsupial, bat, rat, rabbit, and swine-other species than the traditional subjects of mice and humans-are relevant to antibody design and engineer |
