Opis

Based on the proceedings of the International Convocation on Immunology held recently at the State University of New York at Buffalo, this up-to-date resource provides a state-of-the-art examination of blood transfusion practice and its future possibilities.
Explains the immunological effects of blood transfusion as well as its immunological and microbiological hazards and offers potential remedies

Recenzje

"
…a very good addition to the library of anyone who wishes to possess a contemporary tome at the advanced level for reference, to aid in the review or development of research projects, to benchmark one's standards of practice, or to develop a greater personal depth and breadth of knowledge in these topic.
