Cytokine Response Against Major Human Infections provides comprehensive data and is the milestone to understand the immunological response against various viral infections. Coverage includes the role and mode of possible impact of cytokines on disease pathogenesis and host immune response. Cytokines, as a part of innate immunity, favor the development of antiviral and TH 1-type immune responses. Cytokines also affect the adaptive immune response and disease manifestation. In 5 sections Cytokine Response Against Major Human Infections gives a comprehensive introduction to clinical manifestations of viral and infectious diseases; explains the role cytokines in DNA virus infections, RNA virus infections, and in reverse transcribing virus infections; and gives insights into the recent advances and strategies in diagnostic tools, therapeutic and prophylactic measures. Cytokine Response Against Major Human Infections is a milestone to understanding the immunological response against various viral infections for both researchers in immunology and virology, as well as for those in the the biotech and pharmaceutical industries.
