Opis

This book overviews the field of cytokine research and describes the v arious approaches that have been taken to develop the pharmacology of these novel mediators. The pharmacology of cytokines is an exploding a rea which is entering the clinical arena. The book in the framework of the immunobiology of cytokines, examines the interactions with the cy tokine system of a variety of compounds ranging from simple synthetic chemicals to biotechnological products. In addition to examining indiv idual agents and approaches, the book examines the pathophysiology of individual body systems and analyzes specific contexts for the pathoph ysiology of individual body systems and analyzes specific contexts for the pathophysiology of these mediators as well as pharmacological app roaches for their control.

Recenzje

"This book provides a 'breath of fresh air' in an otherwise complicated area of Immunology. In conclusion the authors have managed to produce a concise, well researched and well organised book, which lives up to its aims, in doing so it provides a useful review of research efforts in cytokine pharmacology, as such the book is suitable for clinicians, research scientists and students of Immunology interested in cytokine pharmacology."
