Protocols for the Diagnosis of Pig Viral Diseases

This detailed book explores new molecular biological techniques for the detection of both antigens and antibodies of porcine diseases. Assays examined within this collection include improved methods of nucleic acid extraction, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), droplet digital PCR (ddPCR), polymerase spiral reaction (PSR), cross-priming amplification (CPA), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), as well as peptide nucleic acid (PNA) based tools, aptamer-based tools, and lateral flow assays and different immune assay-based diagnostics for porcine diseases. As part of the Springer Protocols Handbooks series, the present book contains the type of in-depth knowledge on important diagnostics tools that provide a vital source of information for scientists, researchers, and students from different fields. 
Authoritative and practical, Protocols for the Diagnosis of Pig Viral Diseases aims to guide researchers toward developing new technologies for the diagnosis of pig pathogens.
