Opis: Immunotherapy in Transplantation - Bruce Kaplan

This comprehensive reference source will benefit all transplant specialists working with pharmacologic and biologic agents that modulate the immune system. Compiled by a team of world-renowned editors and contributors covering the fields of transplantation, nephrology, pharmacology, and immunology, the book covers all anti-rejection drugs according to a set template and includes the efficacy of each for specific diseases. "It will serve a clinician well as a focused reference for immunology and pharmacotherapy relevant to the transplant arena. It would be a welcome and useful addition to the medical or pharmaceutical library of a transplant professional or institution, albeit on the expensive side for a focused textbook." ( The Annals of Pharmacotherapy , 1 March 2013) "This comprehensive reference source will benefit all transplant specialists working with pharmacologic and biologic agents that modulate the immune system." ( European Journal of Immunology , 1 December 2012) "This is a decent review of transplant immunology that is helpful for the training practitioner. Given its systematic approach, it is easier to follow than other books on the subject." ( Doody's , 17 August 2012)List of Contributors. Preface.
