"The small size of this book is misleading. It has a wealth of theoretical and practical information....This book is a classic of immunhostochemistry, with the necessary information to help novices and seasoned individuals explore specific areas. The information presented is clear...This affordable book should be in every laboratory performing immunohistochemistry as well as on the bookshelf of researchers and diagnosticians who rely on this technique." - DR. JOSE RAMOS-VARA, Department of Veterinary Pathobiology, Purdue University. Veterinary Pathology, No.41:5, 2004"
