Description
Since publication of the Third Edition in 1998, the understanding of the immune mechanisms underlying autoimmunity and autoimmune disease
has significantly deepened and broadened. This Fourth Edition incorporates new material and combines common themes underlying inductive
and effector mechanisms and therapies that relate generally to the autoimmune disorders. It discusses the biological basis of disease
at genetic, molecular, cellular, and epidemiologic levels.
Audience
Basic and clinical scientists working in immunology, rheumatology and autoimmune diseases
