Inhaltsangabe

Most of the diseases of modern mankind involve either acute or chronic inflammation. Measuring Immunity integrates the current information available on biomarkers and surrogate assays into a single handbook. It highlights the principles behind various applications, gives a brief summary on how they are conducted and provides detailed and critical analyses of murine models of immunity, clinical trials, and tests to predict utility and benefit. Measuring Immunity is indispensable for scientists and clinicians interested in the clinical applications of modern immunobiology.

Críticas

"This is a fine reference that describes both the basic science background and the clinical applications of available measures of immune function that are currently used by researchers and clinicians. It appears to fill a niche for which there is no competition."
- Marion C. Cohen, PhD, University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey-NJMS for Doody's: 3 Star Review
