Description and Table of Contents

Description

This is an overview of the developments and research advances in the key area of immunolobiology and clinical and non-clinical immunology. Leading international researchers in the field have provided chapters that take the reader from the fundamentals of the immuno-response, through a discussion of B- and T-cell signalling and autoimmunity, to insights into cell death, designer antibodies and paychoneuroimmunology.
