| Abstract
|
:
|
This volume offers a coherent survey of both the fundamentals of cellular immunology and its emerging, central role in major areas of clinical medicine. This book should be of interest to immunologists, biochemists, cancer chemotherapists, clinical oncologists and immunopathologists.
