Publisher's Synopsis
T lymphocytes are the most important cells involved in immune regulation. It is not possible to understand immunology without understanding T cells and this book is the only one devoted solely to the subject. The focusing of this book on T cells makes possible a much deeper coverage than in books covering a greater span of immunology. A particular strength is to have both the basic physiology and cell biology of T cells in the same book as the discussion of the role of T cells in a variety of bacterial, viral and parasitic diseases. The work will be of benefit to immunologists, biochemists and biologists.
