From the reviews of the second edition: "This book presents a wide range of methods of isolating recombinant antibodies from phage display libraries, examining how the targets of these antibodies can be identified, and how they can be used. ... This is clearly a book meant for individuals in research laboratories. ... provide a resource for innovative investigators to help them use this methodology to answer their questions. ... As always, the very detailed experimental methods and the notes section with its caveats are the high points of each chapter." (Marion C. Cohen, Doody's Review Service, December, 2009) "This new volume delineates more the practical applications of the technique ... . targets a very specific audience - those who use monoclonal antibodies and are looking for a technique that can harness the power of unique epitope specificity within an easily malleable IgG domain module, together with the utility of ex vivo screening/selection from variable domain libraries ... . provides a superb collection of techniques, all annotated with the extensive practical hints based on personal experience that we have come to expect in this series."
