Cytokines in Transplantation

This book is about cytokines and their roles in solid organ transplantation. It gives an overview of cytokine biology and then analyzes how cytokines contribute to a variety of intragraft events including non-specific inflammation, acute rejection and chronic rejection. This volume is useful for those with either a clinical or a research interest in transplantation. The comprehensive reviews of our current knowledge of cytokines in a range of transplantation-related topics include extensive and up-to-date references, making this monograph useful not only as an overview but also as a reference source.
