Description
Taylor & Francis Viruses and Bone Marrow Basic Research and Clinical Practice 1993 Edition by Neal Young
This reference offers detailed descriptions of the interaction of viruses with human and animal haematopoietic cells, examines the role of viruses in human disease and important animal models, and elucidates the relationship of the immune reponse both in restricting infections and mediating organ damage.Supplying rigorous, focussed discussions which should be of benefit to both clinicians and basic scientists, Viruses and Bone Marrow: gives a general overview of viral infection in haematopoietic cells, including immune response and pathological mechanisms describes human parvovirus and feline panleukopenia virus presents the latest information on Epstein-Barr virus and cytomegalovirus indicates the role of hepatitis viruses and flaviviruses in cytopenias highlights HIV, Friend leukaemia virus, and feline leukaemia virus reviews the use of viruses as molecular tools in gene therapy and more.With over 1300 literature citations, tables, figures, and micrographs, Viruses and Bone Marrow is intended as a resource for haematologists, oncologists, microbiologists, virologists, infectious disease specialists, cell biologists, and graduate and medical school students in these disciplines.
