Opis

The goal of this book is to present findings which are supportive of the concept that the words of the idiotype dictionary and likewise self-recognition are essential for communication between lymphocyte clones while some unfaithful (�infidel�) copies of the words contained in the idiotype dictionary perhaps play a role in the functional regulation of nonlymphoid cells.
