More DescriptionThis book reviews the field of immunology for infectious diseases, with the approach to curing infectious diseases using immune therapy. The four sections of the book logically cover the topic completely with the basic principles of immune defence, section two covers the principles of immunotherapy on a molecular level, the third section covers anti-HIV immunology, and the final section reviews the immunotherapy of all other infections and viral-associated malignancies. Readers will be able to better understand how the immune system can be manipulated to effect better control of viral replication and disease progression, which will thus enable the development of an effective vaccine. The text will be an invaluable tool for both clinicians and basic scientists.
