Textbook of Immunopharmacology

Immunopharmacology is that area of biology where immunology, pathology and pharmacology overlap. It concerns the pharmacological approach to the interaction between the host and the invading disease. This textbook defines the field of immunopharmacology by describing lucidly the mechanisms involved in the formation, release and subsequent actions of the chemicals influencing inflammatory and immune reactions. It covers the subject in depth and will be useful to both undergraduates and clinicians. This third edition contains completely new sections on angiogenesis, acute-phase protein and future prospects in immunopharmacolbgy.
