Abstract

Immunopharmacology and the regulation of leukocyte function. Immunology series—Vol 19

Highlights

In addition to chapters on the clinical presentation, natural history and morphology of ATLL itself, epidemiology and the present state of knowledge of ATLV, there is a useful summary of T cell lymphomas as they may be classified in relation to lymphocyte sub-populations
Immunopharmacology has come of age and, as the series editor Noel Rose suggests in his foreword, is an acknowledged sub-discipline
An area with poorly-defined boundaries and encompasses all aspects of molecular regulation of immune function. Included in this volume are eleven excellent, though largely unrelated, reviews which examine in detail the influence of various endogenous and exogenous factors on leukocyte function and complement activity

Summary

Introduction

Immunopharmacology has come of age and, as the series editor Noel Rose suggests in his foreword, is an acknowledged sub-discipline. In addition to chapters on the clinical presentation, natural history and morphology of ATLL itself, epidemiology and the present state of knowledge of ATLV, there is a useful summary of T cell lymphomas as they may be classified in relation to lymphocyte sub-populations. These diseases are encountered only rarely in Western countries, the story of their elucidation in terms of pathology, immunology, and epidemiology is a fascinating one, well covered in the present volume.
