Review :
Overall, the text is highly structured, well presented and applicable to transplant clinicians and pharmacologists in particular... Those wishing to advance their understanding of transplant immunology, the technologies and techniques used for drug monitoring, the drug development pipeline and the basis for use of current agents in transplantation will find their interests more than satisfied. (American Journal of Transplantation, 5 September 2013) It will serve a clinician well as a focused reference for immunology and pharmacotherapy relevant to the transplant arena. It would be a welcome and useful addition to the medical or pharmaceutical library of a transplant professional or institution, albeit on the expensive side for a focused textbook. (The Annals of Pharmacotherapy, 1 March 2013) This comprehensive reference source will benefit all transplant specialists working with pharmacologic and biologic agents that modulate the immune system. (European Journal of Immunology, 1 December 2012) This is a decent review of transplant immunology that is helpful for the training practitioner. Given its systematic approach, it is easier to follow than other books on the subject. (Doody s, 17 August 2012)
