description: Volume 3: The latest in the MIA series, which is a remarkable practice-oriented account of immunological analysis.Volumes 1, 2 and 3 provide an extraordinarily comprehensive and up-to-date depiction of methods of immunological analysis. Volume 1 deals predominantly with methodological aspects of immunoassay formats and systems. Volume 2 covers the pre-analytical phase and the production and characterization of reagents.Volume 3 is concerned with the approach to using immunological methods for the analysis of cells and tissues. In the first sections, the methods necessary for the isolation of cells from many different tissues are described, with the emphasis upon human cells. Moreover, the various approaches to the use of antibody-based methods in immunocytochemistry are delineated. Their comparative uses and performance are discussed in critical detail. The last part of the volume considers the ways in which immune cells can be analysed by methods conventionally understood by immunologists, but not necessarily using antibodies.A brief summary of major topics in Volume 3: *preparation of Cells and Tissues * Cell Culture * Cell Fractionation and Purification * Methods of Phenotype Analysis * Immunoanalysis of Cell Function * Analysis of Immune Cell Function.
