Description
The Cytokine Reference is the most complete work for anyone interested in the role of cytokines in host defense processes.
With essential and comprehensive information on all known cytokines, including chemokines, growth factors and neuropeptides, the database
will include hundreds of entries with detailed descriptions of cytokine genes, proteins, cell sources, activities, receptors, receptor
signal transduction, gene activation, pathophysiology, therapeutics and techniques. This encyclopedic reference is written by a panel
of global experts and will include extensive tables and diagrams. This book/online bundle consists of a two-volume print set, plus a
regularly updated and searchable Online Database.
Cytokines are produced by virtually all the cells in our bodies, and they regulate
the systems that defend us against infection, tumors, and trauma. This publication and database will enable all those working in the
field to find the information they need about this ever-expanding field.
Audience:
Researchers in immunology, biochemistry, cell biology, and molecular biology. Also rheumatologists, hematologists, oncologists, and infectious disease specialists
