Cytokines, as a part of innate immunity, initiate the development of antiviral and TH 1-type immune responses. Cytokines also affect the adaptive immune response and disease manifestation. In five sections, this book gives a comprehensive introduction to the clinical manifestations of viral and infectious diseases; details the role of cytokines in DNA virus infections, RNA virus infections, and reverse transcribing virus infections; and gives insights into the recent advances and strategies in diagnostic tools and therapeutic and prophylactic measures.
Cytokine Response Against Major Human Viral Infections is valuable resource for both researchers in immunology and virology, as well as for those in the biotech and pharmaceutical industries, engaged in the study of cytokines and their immunological response against human viral infections.
- Identifies new insights and mechanism involved for optimal management of infections
- Broadens knowledge about the cytokine response involved in various infections that leads to the development of novel diagnostics and advancements in current therapies
- Offers novel approaches to study infections and immunological responses
- Depicts the role of cytokines in various human viral infections
immunologist and virologists, academician and industrialists to understand the basic immunology of viral infection, mechanism of action, diagnostic and treatment strategies, biotech and pharmaceutical industries
