School of Medicine, PA, U.S.A.
"Thompson and Lotze are to be commended for compiling
this comprehensive work... There are excellent chapters on
cytokine genetics, chemokine nomenclature, and the basic
biology of each of the cytokines."
—ASM NEWS (2004)
Cytokines play a key role in biology through highly specific
receptors. Chronic inflammatory disorders, including cancers,
atherosclerosis, autoimmune diseases and chronic viral infection
all engage and involve cytokine/cytokine receptor interactions.
How these molecules synergize and antagonize each and signal
to regulate gene expression in cells has become a central issue
of prime biologic importance and also has been thoroughly
covered in this book.
KEY FEATURES:
• Covers all main cytokines and chemokines
• Up-to-date- includes detailed referencing accessing current,
modern literature and reflects the newest findings from the
human genome
• Includes major emphasis on clinical applications
• Extensively illustrated with tables and figures

"It is a sophisticated, closely argued, and clearly written
analysis of Ehrlich's contributions to immunology. The
adroit use of a wealth of original sources enriches and
strengthens the text."
—NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL OF MEDICINE (2002)
Paul Ehrlich is considered one of the founding fathers of immunology,
his life work culminating in a Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1908. Ehrlich
is most notably recognized for discovering an effective treatment for
syphilis. Experiments Ehrlich conceived and performed in the 1890s
were so sophisticated and ahead of the times they were repeated 50
to 75 years later by some of the most prominent immunologists in the
field. This book describes the background to Paul Ehrlich's
immunological works and theories and delves into the substance of
his experiments in great detail. By exploring these early developments
in immunology, the book lays the foundation for modern concepts,
providing immunologists, biomedical researchers, and students the
context for the discoveries in their field.

great historic plagues that has ravaged human livestock for centuries.
Descriptions of the disease in Europe date back to the 4th century
where it regularly reoccurred following wars and other civil unrest
until late in the 19th century. It was introduced with devastating effect
into Africa towards the end of the 19th century and is now
widespread across sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East and
Southern Asia. Its causative agent, rinderpest virus, a morbillivirus
very closely related to human measles virus, decimates the cattle
population along with those of other susceptible domestic
ruminants and many wildlife species wherever it is present.

Antigenic Variation
Edited by
Alister G. Craig
Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, Liverpool, U.K.
Artur Scherf
Institut Pasteur, Paris, France
"It provides an excellent review, drawing from examples
as diverse as HIV...I would recommend this text to
anyone involved with vaccine and drug development, as
well as those studying the host-microbe interaction: a useful
addition to the bookshelf."
—MICROBIOLOGY TODAY (2004)
The topic of antigenic variation is important in both biology and
medicine. It is of enormous interest, as it describes the
process(es) whereby microorganisms 'shift shape', by genetic
rearrangement or otherwise. In medical terms, this has a major
impact on the infectious disease process, since the immune
system has great difficulty in keeping up with this variation, and
thus eliminating the infectious agent. The broad scope of the
book appeals to all those working in the field of infectious
disease, immunology of infection, pathogenesis, molecular
biology and also to evolutionary biologists.

the life and activities of Edward Jenner...I strongly
recommend this book to all students of immunology, virology, and
vaccinology."
—VIRUS RESEARCH (2001)
Simply, and with great humanity, Bazin tells the story of the
eradication of smallpox - it's origins, the horror of the disease,
and the millions killed or disfigured. Reliable estimates give the
number of people dying of the disease in the 18th and 19th
centuries to one in ten, some say even one in seven. The story
progresses with the practice of variolation, and the life of
Edward Jenner, who first proposed 'vaccination' with cow pox
vaccine. This culminates in the only total eradication of an
infectious disease that mankind has yet to accomplish in 1979.

Diseases of the Nervous
System
International Review of Neurobiology
VOLUME 55
Edited by
David S. Latchman
University of London and Professor of Genetics at
Birkbeck College and University College London, U.K.
Gene therapy is a potential treatment for human diseases that
involves the delivery of particular genes to the patient with the
aim of either replacing a defective gene or treating the
symptoms of the disease. This treatment approach requires the
development of a means by which to deliver genes with high
efficiency to the appropriate area of the body. This book
describes techniques using a variety of different viruses as the
method for achieving high efficiency gene delivery to the brain. It
also discusses the potential application of such viruses in
treating brain tumors, Parkinson's disease, and other diseases of
the nervous system.

Blood Substitutes
Robert M. Winslow
Sangart Inc., San Diego, CA, U.S.A.
Blood substitutes are solutions designed for
use in patients who need blood transfusions,
but for whom whole blood is not available, or
is not safe. This interest has intensified in the
wake of the AIDS and hepatitis C epidemics.
Blood Substitutes describes the rationale,
current approaches, clinical efficacy, and design issues
for all blood substitutes now in clinical trials. The many
summary diagrams and tables help make the book accessible to
readers such as surgeons and blood bankers, who have less
technical expertise than the biochemists and hematologists who
are designing and testing blood substitutes.

This book is the first systematic, detailed treatment of the
approaches to ethical issues taken by biotech and
pharmaceutical companies. The application of genetic/genomic
technologies raises a whole spectrum of ethical questions
affecting global health that must be addressed. Topics covered
in this comprehensive survey include considerations for
bioprospecting in transgenics, genomics, drug discovery, and
nutrigenomics, as well as how to improve stakeholder relations,
design ethical clinical trials, avoid conflicts of interest, and
establish ethics advisory boards. The expert authors represent
multiple disciplines including law, medicine, bioinformatics,
pharmaceutics, business, and ethics.

A Guide to Success
THIRD EDITION
Edited by
Thomas E. Ogden
University of Southern California, U.S.A.
Israel A. Goldberg
Health Research Associates, Rockville, U.S.A.
Most medical research done in universities
is funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Grants are awarded in a competition. Funds are only sufficient to
support about half of the projects for which funds are requested.
At the break point between funded and not funded, scientific
differences are miniscule and success is largely attributable to
presentation. Successful proposals are better written and easier
to read and understand. They are free of errors and are replete
with clear, helpful illustrations. This book describes hundreds of
enhancements for, and errors to be avoided in the generation of
a better proposal.
