Description: Over the last several years, immunologists have re-discovered the importance of regulatory lymphocytes, formerly termed 'supressor cells. Many recent reports have documented their existence, effector functions and poetntial therapeutic benefits in autoimmunity and transplantation. However, even though modern techniques have allowed researchers to get a much more detailed picture of these cells, they are still highly controversial. Several unresolved issues responsible for this dilemma are discussed in this book. Containing contributions from leading investigators from around the world, this is lively discussion of the current state of the art in studies of regulatory lymphocytes.
