Cytokines

In the last few years molecular biologists have discovered a great deal of information about cytokine structures and genes, along with a clarification of the roles of individual cytokines. The possibility that cytokines are involved in the immunopathology of a number of diseases and could therefore be used in new therapeutic techniques has provided the incentive for extensive investigation of these molecules. This book provides an introduction to the cell and molecular biology of cytokines. The text is designed for students, research workers and clinicians who are entering this field for the first time or for those wishing to update their knowledge.
