Manual includes five sections: overview of some key aspects of phage display; the construction, screening, and analysis of antibody libraries on the surface of phage, of phage-displayed peptide libraries, and of gene-fragment and cDNA-expression libraries; and appendices that summarize commonly used experimental procedures, data, recipes, suppliers, and precautions.

Phage-display technology has begun to make critical contributions to the study of molecular recognition. DNA sequences are cloned into phage, which then present on their surface the proteins encoded by the DNA. Individual phage are rescued through interaction of the displayed protein with a ligand, and the specific phage is amplified by infection of bacteria. Phage-display technology is powerful but challenging and the aim of this manual is to provide comprehensive instruction in its theoretical and applied so that any scientist with even modest molecular biology experience can effectively employ it. The manual reflects nearly a decade of experience with students of greatly varying technical expertise andexperience who attended a course on the technology at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. Phage-display technology is growing in importance and power. This manual is an unrivalled source of expertise in its execution and application.

Roitt's Essential Immunology - the textbook of choice for students and instructors of immunology worldwide Roitt’s Essential Immunology clearly explains the key principles needed by medical and health sciences students, from the basis of immunity to clinical applications. A brand new introduction sets the scene to section 1, Fundamentals of Immunology, introducing the microbial world and the strategies the body employs to defend itself. Each chapter then guides the reader through a different part of the immune system, and explains the role of each cell or molecule individually, and then as a whole. Section 2, Applied Immunology, discusses what happens when things go wrong, and the role the immune system plays alongside the damaging effects of a disease, including cancer, immunodeficiency, allergies and transplantation and the beneficial effects of vaccines. The 13th edition continues to be a user-friendly and engaging introduction to the workings of the immune system, whilst supporting those who require a slightly more detailed understanding of the key developments in immunology. The content has been fully updated throughout and includes: <ul>
<li>An expansion on key clinical topics, including: innate immunity, autoimmune conditions, asthma, primary immunodeficiency, and HIV/AIDS</li> <li>Beautifully presented with improved artwork and new illustrations</li> <li>A range of learning features, including introduction re-cap boxes, end of chapter and section summaries to aid revision, as well as further reading suggestions, and a glossary to explain the most important immunology terms.</li> </ul>
 Roitt's Essential Immunology is also supported by a companion website at www.roitt.com including: <ul>
<li>An additional online only chapter on immunological methods and applications </li> <li>Further interactive multiple choice and single best answer questions for each chapter</li> <li>Animations and videos showing key concepts</li> <li>Fully downloadable figures and illustrations, further reading and useful links</li> <li>Updated extracts from the Encyclopaedia of Life Sciences</li> <li>Podcasts to reinforce the key principles explained in the text</li> </ul>
