Application of Antibody and Immunoassay for Food Safety

The book addressed several critical issues in application of antibodies and immunoassays for food safety. (1) Methodologies for the enhancement of sensitivity, rapidity, and reliability; (2) eliminating food matrix effect; (3) exploiting high-quality antibodies and new specific recognition elements, such as bispecific monoclonal antibody, broad-specific antibodies, and single chain antibody fragment (scFv) mutants; (4) preparing stable and strong signal labels to improve the accuracy and sensitivity of immunoassays; (5) multiple detection abilities as inevitable trends in the immunoassay development, etc.
