One of the major contributions of immunoelectrophoretic analysis has been in the area of the diagnosis of human disease. The purpose of this primer is to guide the uninitiated reader through the somewhat disconcerting maze of immunoelectrophorctics arcs; therefore, the authors have employed a maeroimmunoolectrophoretic technique which allows adequate clectrophoretic expansion and is reproducible. This technique is used throughout the text as a means of teaching interpretation and comparison of immimoelectrophoretic patterns. Structure and Bonding. Vol. 7. P. Hemmerich et al., editors. 154 pages. Springer-Verlag, New York, Inc., 175 Fifth Ave., New York, N. Y. 10010. 1970. Paperbound. $10.50
