Immunology has come a long way in the hundred or so years since the general concepts were first enuciated by Metchnikoff, Ehrlich, Von Bebring and others, One of the landmarks in this progress was the invention and development of monoclonal antibody secreting hybridomas by Milstein and bis co-workers in Cambridge. Unlike most modern inventions of this importance that of monoclonal antibody production was made available to the scientific community tbroughout the world unimpeded by patent protection. This may explain tbe unusual rapidity witb which it has been applied to the benefit of mankind in general. This book, representing as it does the proceedings of tbe first International Symposium to be held on the clinical appli cations of monoclonal antibodies, shows just how much bas been achieved within the space of little more than a decade. The enormaus promise of monoclonal antibody technology, which became apparent soon after its discovery, has already progressed a long way towards fulfillment. The contributors to tbis volume, all of whom are actively engaged in monoclonal antibody development and application, represent the state of the art. Professor Vincent Marks V INTRODUCTION It has been some twelve years since the pioneering experiments of Koehler and Milstein led to the discovery of monoclonal antibodies. Single molecular species antiborlies with desired specificities could be produced by the fusion of antibody - producing cells with neoplastic cells.

Jailed alongside some of Britain's most dangerous criminals including Charles Bronson, Marks' gripping novel describes how he became corrupted from within his role as a prison officer, the transition to becoming an inmate and the lies he had to tell in order to survive the system inside whilst concealing his past. While many true-crime books focus on the crime and following trial, 'Turning the Screw' takes you deeper into the rabbit hole, giving a brutal insight into the psychological effects and the suffering that incarceration brings. Raw, controversial and shocking, Marks' takes us on an emotional and tense journey graphically revealing what really goes on behind bars

The idea that we are one step from calamity is as old as history itself. Every step on the road of progress has been countered by those who think that we should keep to a primitive lifestyle. But despite the fact that they've been proved wrong, the pessimists are undeterred by their abysmal record. Today, industrialisation, GM crops, scientific medicine, nuclear power and the car are held up as harbingers of doom. But will pesticides kill off life in our oceans? Will chemicals in food poison us all and invisible rays from power cables give us cancer? Stanley Feldman, a professor at Imperial College of Medicine, and Vincent Marks, editor of Panic Nation and an expert on diabetes, examine the evidence.

Every week there's another food or health scare. Whether it's British beef, the MMR vaccine or just sunshine itself, there's always somebody to tell you that you are under threat from yet another everyday activity; or that the food we eat, and the medicines we take are poisoning our bodies. However, this book reveals that we are all living longer, healthier lives, while science has advanced to the stage where medicines and surgical procedures are safer and more effective than ever before. So where does the truth lie? Who can we believe? How do we know whose advice is worth listening to? Examining the truth behind the headlines, drawing together the country's leading experts in their field to examine these questions, this book really does give you the excuse to "Diet Another Day". You may be surprised to find that many 'scientific' truths that have come to be circulated as fact would be better compared to urban myths and don't have the backing in the scientific community that is often claimed for them...
