Description
Cellular Aspects of HIV Infection provides a highly readable,detailed overview of the state of the art in modern HIV research atthe cellular level. This volume brings together renowned expertswho have provided concise, synthetic treatments of the biology ofHIV infection. It presents these descriptions and analyses withparticular attention to the techniques of flow cytometry that haveallowed us to not only observe the course of HIV infection and theimmune system's response to it, but have also increased our abilityto treat patients and understand their response to therapy.
The book is divided into five sections covering molecules andcells, pathophysiological processes, technologies, and organisms. Aperspective on future therapies concludes the book. Each chapteroffers an intelligent, concise synthesis of the topic, highlightingthe biological principles and technologies involved in the study ofHIV infection. Cellular Aspects of HIV Infection is anindispensable, up-to-date guide for immunologists, virologists,clinicians, and researchers.
Reviews / Votes
"...a must have book for any health science library." (AIDS BookReview Journal, Vol. 69, September-December 2002)Cellular Aspects of HIV Infection highlights many of the important aspects of HIV interaction with host cells and with the immune system. Notably, several chapters cover the most recent observations on both innate and adaptive immune responses and approaches for reconstituting the immune system by a variety of procedures. This edited book provides a ready reference for valuable background and current information on many aspects of HIV pathogenesis.(Jay A. Levy, M.D., University of California San Francisco)More details
