Publisher's Synopsis
The third in a series of handbooks, Human Cyokines, Volume III catalogues and describes the newest generation of cytokine molecules. A group of eminent experts discusses the structure, function, and mechanism of twenty five recently identified cytokines, including Interferon–t, Lymphotoxin–B, GIF, and Angiogenin among others. A special section is devoted to the new receptor ligands. Like the extremely successful first two volumes to which this book is an ideal complement, Volume III presents the information on this dynamic new dimension of medicine in clear, concise language with a focus on clinical application. As a set, these three volumes represent the most comprehensive reference on cytokines available.
