Advances in Veterinary Immunology 1983

This is the third volume in a series of special issues, published annually, whose objective is to review advances in our understanding of the functioning of the immune system of domestic animals; the two previous volumes were edited by F.D. Kristensen and D.F. Antczak.

Veterinary immunology has grown rapidly during the last decade and the knowledge gained from this work can be applied beyond the confines of domestic species. It is with this wider relevance of veterinary immunology to other fields that the topics have been chosen for this edition of Advances in Veterinary Immunology. It comprises an editorial followed by five review articles which, in their different ways, emphasise the growth of veterinary immunology and its relevance to biological and medical science.
