Adoptive Immunotherapy cover

An authoritative collection of optimal techniques for producing and characterizing the immunologically active cells and effector molecules now gaining wide use in the clinical treatment of patients. Taking advantage of the latest technologies, the authors present readily reproducible experimental protocols for the study of dendritic cells, T cells, monoclonal antibodies, and bone marrow transplantation. The emphasis is on preclinicical and clinical applications and on the progress of selected approaches in clinical trials. Additional chapters cover the molecular definition of target antigens, mathematical modeling approaches to immunotherapy, and the utilization of regulatory T cells. The protocols make it possible to study the adoptive transfer of tailored antigen-specific immune cells and to improve the clinical application of adoptive immunotherapy.

"...a comprehensive and authoritative collection of currently used protocols for adoptive immunotherapy in both pre-clinical and clinical settings." - Immunology News

"...will be not only useful for basic researchers but also clinical scientists aiming to translate basic research to a clinical setting." - Immunology and Cell Biology
