Description
Humana Press Inc. Cytokines In Human Health Immunotoxicology Pathology And Therapeutic Applications by Robert V. House
This comprehensive book explores the role of cytokines in immunotoxicology and human health using a variety of complex methods, from basic research to highly applied therapeutic applications. It includes a basic study of cytokines and details the effects of cytokines on the immune system and in treating cancer. The book serves as both a primer and a starting point for a more detailed investigation of the role these biological regulators play._x000D_ _x000D_
