内容説明

This text provides an overview of the field and focuses on the immunology of domestic animals. It represents a balanced approach to the subject by encompassing basic theory, comparative immunology, and immunopathology, and contains clinical examples. Immunology concepts are simplified to reduce possible confusion without undermining the importance of issues, and an increased amount of clinical detail is given. Other topics covered include: bone marrow transplantation in dogs; new techniques for cancer therapy; immunodeficiencies - including canine leukocyte adherence deficiency; the impact of modern biotechnology on the production; immunodulators; and t-cell antigen receptors.
