More About This Title Gene Therapy Immunology

  • English

English

  • Summarises and reviews the important field of genetic therapy with respect to the latest immunological advances in the lab and clinic
  • Unique treatment of immunology and immunotherapy in gene - approached from a vector and target organ point of view rather than from the perspective a specific diseases
  • Broad appeal - applicable for  immunology and genetics / gene therapy, recombinant DNA studies, transplantation, virology, cancer research and tumor research

Roland W. Herzog, Ph.D., is Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Florida in Alachua, Florida. Dr. Herzog is a regular presenter at the annual American Society for Gene Therapy meeting, and his popular course on the topic of immunology and gene therapy is the basis for this exciting new book.

"This book provides a thorough and comprehensive description of the problems faced by gene therapists, and their continuing need to overcome the immune system to allow effective gene therapy in future clinical trials. It is well placed to be a useful and informative textbook, which I would highly recommend." (Immunology News, May 2009)

“This book, put together by experts, delivers a fresh approach to thinking about gene therapy and delivery of the vectors. The information is as current as a multiauthored book can be and would be useful to students as well as physicians.” (Doody's Reviews, March 2009)
