mis-regulated disease can appear (autoimmunity, immunodeficiencies like in AIDS or cancer). This comprehensive treatment of this exciting area of molecular medicine presents an informative description of the major cytokines together with coverage of their role in the different parts of the immune
system and of their implication in immunopathology, and will be of great interest to medical researchers and academics in the field. Industrial researchers with an interest in immunology will also find this book useful.
