Description
Neuroimmunology is the first comprehensive reference describing all aspects of immunology and the pivotal role in which it takes in health and disease of the human nervous system as well as it's clinical and therapeutic application. In four sections, this book begins with the organization of the immune system to provide ideal background for the next sections covering the nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. The last section details the most up-to-date information on the application of such methods of immunotherapy as monoclonal antibodies, cytokines and enzyme replacement.
