About the Book
Offers examinations of the pathways and agents that affect the human immune response, and provides presentations on practical methods of immune modulation. The text focuses on the immune response and modulation in infectious disease, such as HIV, hepatitis and parasitic infections, and highlights immune modulating agents in gastrointestinal diseases, sepsis, cancer and autoimmunity.
