Content:
Immunoregulation in Health and Disease, edited by Lukic, Colic, Mostarica-Stojkovic and Cuperlovic is a multi-authored volume covering the field of Immunoregulation, and will be essential reading for all researchers working in Immunology.Each section includes at least 10 papers contributed by experts from around the World, and covers in detail the wealth of knowledge relating to immunoregulation, both in health and disease. This book will provide an invaluable overview of immune system behaviour.The book is divided into four sections:* Regulatory, effectory, and accessor
Note:
Papers presented at the first Balkan Immunology Conference, held in Belgrade, 1995.
