Description
The apparent complexity of the complement system strikes fear into many medical students and clinicians. For them and those involved in complement research, this book provides a clear and concise explanation of the biochemistry, genetics and biological activity of the complement pathway, using diagrams wherever possible to aid understanding of this fascinating arm of the immune response.
From this basis, the important role of the complement system in the normal immune response and a variety of clinical disorders including rheumatoid, renal, neurological and dermatological disease are detailed.
Using his experience as a senior clinical research fellow at the University of Wales College of Medicine, Dr. Morgan amply addresses the science of complement system to a medically trained audience and vice versa.
