Immunochemistry of Proteins Volume 3

The structural features responsible for the immunogenicity of certain parts of native protein molecules have been of interest to immunochem­ ists and protein chemists for over three decades. However, until re­ cently no concerted effort was (or could be) devoted to the elucidation of the complete an...
