Vaccines. New Approaches to Immunological Problems

Presents vaccine research and development through a problem/analysis/solution format characteristic of current vaccinology. This approach first outlines an immunopathological challenge presented by a particular virus or microorganism, then indicates the strategy and technology that can be applied for developing a vaccine. The pertinent preclinical and clinical results are then presented and critiqued. In addition, several chapters include descriptions of new technologies for vaccines and their advantages over previously existing practices. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
