Peptide and Protein Vaccines

Published continuously since 1944, the Advances in Protein Chemistry and Structural Biology series has been the essential resource for protein chemists. Each volume brings forth new information about protocols and analysis of proteins. Each thematically organized volume is guest edited by leading experts in a broad range of protein-related topics.

Describes advances in application of powerful techniques in a wide bioscience areaChapters are written by authorities in their fieldTargeted to a wide audience of researchers, specialists, and studentsThe information provided in the volume is well supported by a number of high quality illustrations, figures, and tables
