Exhaustive and comprehensive descriptions of, and protocols for, methods relevant to basic research and to clinical research and management. Nine of the eighteen sections have direct clinical applications and are relevant specifically to AIDS; pediatric and adult immunodeficiencies; bacterial, mycotic, parasitic, viral, rickettsial, chlamydial, allergic, and autoimmune diseases; oncology; transplantation; and monitoring of immunologic therapies. This edition represents a shift from more general considerations to more specific applications.
