Description
Because autoimmune disorders can wreak havoc in both humans and animals, these disorders are now the objects of intense and focused research.
This book details specific animal models for a variety of autoimmune disorders. The contributors are recognized authorities who deal
with the panoply of experimentally induced autoimmune disorders, including encephalomyelitis, allergic neuritis, uveoretinitis, myocarditis,
and hepatitis. Also included are discussions of spontaneously appearing diseases such as autoimmune thyroiditis and systemic lupus erythematosus.
Many other disorders are also covered in this comprehensive guide. Certain to be an aid in the planning of individual experiments and
broader research programs, this book will be a valuable addition to the library of all practicing immunologists interested in immune
system function and dysfunction.
