Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: This chapter provides up to date information on the use of monoclonal antibody technology to study arbuscular mycorrhizae, a group of beneficial plant-associated soil fungi. This chapter discusses problems associated with production of antibodies against arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, types of immunoassays to use, and published results from these assays. This information will be a helpful guide for production and use of antibodies a tools to study taxonomy, molecules released into soil, or molecules involved in establishing mycorrhizal symbiosis.
