"This manual serves as a valuable guide to the process of
designing, producing and assessing vaccines used against infectious
agents including viruses, bacteria and parasites. This book would
most benefit scientists involved in the research and development
associated with vaccine technology. It also would be most useful to
those new to the field of vaccine formulation and production.
Health and science libraries supporting research institutions,
government agencies, academic and corporate entities involved in
developing or producing vaccines will find this a valuable addition
to the collection." -E-STREAMS
From reviews of the first edition...
"...cover[s] concepts and protocols applicable to a wide range of
vaccines and infectious diseases and cancer...brings together many
protocols of value to research and development scientists involved
in the vaccine technology area."
-Immunology and Cell Biology
"...a valuable basic reference manual of vaccine related laboratory
procedures...strongest in the area of vaccine development and
delivery technology...especially valuable to those new to the field
of vaccine development and formulation."
