Description
Now for the first time, one comprehensive book summarizes and analyzes the numerous scientific papers and reviews covering selected aspects of the structure, biological activities, and clinical effects of immune interferon, also known as interferon-gamma(IFN-gamma). Interferon-gamma is a natural immune booster which has been synthesized and widely used in clinical cases ranging from infectious diseases to cancer, as well as various metabolic disorders. Having developed their own brand of interferon-gamma, the authors are well known in the scientific community. In Immune Interferon: Properties and Clinical Applications, they bring together the extensive findings from twenty years of research since the discovery of the drug. Focusing on the drug itself, and not particular brands, the book presents data on the properties of interferon-gamma, experimental data on its effects, and its clinical applications.
