Publisher's Synopsis
Leading immunologists, researchers and clinicians present their latest insights into cellular immunity and its applicability to the eradication of cancer. Major questions critical to the further evaluation and exploitation of the cellular immune response are explored, with topics ranging from T cell recognition of antigen and the T cell receptor, T cell growth and expansion of specific cells, and auto immunity and alloimmunity, to melanoma in humans and mice, natural killer cells and MHC-unrestricted lysis, tumour specific T cells, and immunotherapy using animal models and clinical trials.
