Genetic Markers in Human Blood. By ELOISE R. GIBLETT

Genetic Markers in Human Blood. By ELOISE R. GIBLETT Blood. By ELOISE GIBLETT. R. Oxford and Edinburgh: Blackwell Scientific Publications. 1969. Pp. xxv + 629. 85s. This is a book packed with information. Furthermore the information is generally well arranged and indexed to form a comprehensive dossier on genetic markers in human blood. There are two main sections in the book. Part I deals with genetic markers in plasma and includes chapters on immunoglobulin, haptoglobin, transferrin, group specific component, lipoprotein and pseudocholinesterase variants as well as short descriptive accounts of other marker systems such as ceruloplasmin, Xm, Pi and albumin. The second section is concerned with genetic variations detectable in red cells and consists of major chapters on certain red cell antigens and haemoglobins together with a series of shorter chapters about particular red cell enzyme variants. The book is well illustrated throughout and Dr Giblett is to be congratulated on the particularly good photographs which she has used to illustrate the section which describes electrophoretic variants. The only minor criticism one feels obliged to offer against this book is that perhaps more space could have been allocated to the general discussion section at the end. At times in the preceding sections it is difficult to see the wood for the trees and one feels that a more elaborate h a 1 discussion would have fortified this book and made it an even more valuable addition to the literature. However as an accurate and, with the aid of an addendum section, very up to date account of the present state of knowledge about genetic markers detectable in red cells and plasma this is an admirablevolume which will be widely used as a source of reference.

Abstract

Blood. By ELOISE GIBLETT. R. Oxford and Edinburgh: Blackwell Scientific Publications. 1969. Pp. xxv + 629. 85s. This is a book packed with information. Furthermore the information is generally well arranged and indexed to form a comprehensive dossier on genetic markers in human blood. There are two main sections in the book. Part I deals with genetic markers in plasma and includes chapters on immunoglobulin, haptoglobin, transferrin, group specific component, lipoprotein and pseudocholinesterase variants as well as short descriptive accounts of other marker systems such as ceruloplasmin, Xm, Pi and albumin. The second section is concerned with genetic variations detectable in red cells and consists of major chapters on certain red cell antigens and haemoglobins together with a series of shorter chapters about particular red cell enzyme variants. The book is well illustrated throughout and Dr Giblett is to be congratulated on the particularly good photographs which she has used to illustrate the section which describes electrophoretic variants. The only minor criticism one feels obliged to offer against this book is that perhaps more space could have been allocated to the general discussion section at the end. At times in the preceding sections it is difficult to see the wood for the trees and one feels that a more elaborate h a 1 discussion would have fortified this book and made it an even more valuable addition to the literature. However as an accurate and, with the aid of an addendum section, very up to date account of the present state of knowledge about genetic markers detectable in red cells and plasma this is an admirablevolume which will be widely used as a source of reference.
