A detailed, A-Z guide and an indispensable source for pathologists ensuring correct application of immunohistochemistry in daily practice.

An updated edition provides a comprehensive list of antisera and monoclonal antibodies that have useful diagnostic applications.

Revised edition of: Leong's manual of diagnostic antibodies for immunohistology / edited by Runjan Chetty, Kumarasen Cooper, Allen Gown. Third edition. 2016.

This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date listing of the sources of immunochemicals for use in laboratory-based specialties such as Histopathology. Much more than just a catalogue of these chemicals, it includes specific technical details on the application and specificities of antisera, common pitfalls in use and how to avoid them, an aspect not covered in other similar texts.

Since the publication of the first edition of this best-selling book in 2009, the field of immunohistochemistry has advanced significantly. Fully updated to reflect the latest developments in the field, Modern Immunohistochemistry, Second Edition, is a practical guide to all the important diagnostic markers in each organ system. Concise text is supplemented by over 1,100 high-quality colour images and algorithms. The new edition features even more summary tables, highlighting the key points of differential immunophenotypic panels. A new, expanded introduction explains the basic principles of immunohistochemistry, and chapters have been updated to incorporate predictive/prognostic markers and the latest WHO classifications. All chapters are written by the same expert authors, providing a consistent, engaging style throughout and avoiding contradictory advice. An essential text for residents, this is also an extremely valuable resource for practitioners in anatomic pathology wishing to familiarise themselves with diagnostic markers at a quick glance.
