The Cytokines of the Immune System: The Role of Cytokines in Disease Related to Immune Response

The Cytokines and the Immune System catalogs cytokines and links them to physiology and pathology, providing a welcome and hugely timely tool for scientists in all related fields. Cataloguing cytokines, listing their potential for therapeutic use, and linking them with disease necessary for research and development, as well as for learning about the immune system. This book offers a new approach in the study of cytokines by combining detailed guidebook-style cytokine description, disease linking, and presentation of immunologic roles. Supplies new ideas for basic and clinical researchProvides cytokine descriptions in a guidebook-style, cataloging the origins, structures, functions, receptors, disease-linkage, and therapeutic potentialsOffers a textbook-style view on the immune system with the immunologic role of each cytokine INDICE: ForewordChapter 1.
