Histocompatibility Testing: A Practical Approach describes methods for the investigation of Mhc at the gene and protein levels and their application to the clinical transplanation of human organs and bone marrow. There is currently no other text available covering up-to-date serological and molecular techniques in this area of immunogenetics, despite their importance to fundamental research, clinical practice, and forensic medicine.

Reviews for Histocompatibility Testing: A Practical Approach
'a very useful book and one might safely predict that it will become a standard text on the practical aspects of histocompatibility testing' J. Andrew Bradley, Western Infirmary, Glasgow, Immunology Today, Vol. 15, No. 6, 1994
