In cataloguing cytokines, it lists their potential for therapeutic use, links them to disease treatments needing further research and development, and shows their utility for learning about the immune system. This book offers a new approach in the study of cytokines by combining detailed guidebook-style cytokine description, disease linking, and presentation of immunologic roles.nnSupplies new ideas for basic and clinical researchnProvides cytokine descriptions in a guidebook-style, cataloging the origins, structures, functions, receptors, disease-linkage, and therapeutic potentialsnOffers a textbook-style view on the immune system with the immunologic role of each cytokinennProduct DetailsnnnISBN-13: 9780124199989nPublisher: Elsevier SciencenPublication date: 6/15/2015nPages: 320
