Natural killer T (NKT) cells are CD1d-restricted T cells that respond to lipid, not protein, antigens presented by CD1d, which is a non-classical MHC class I-like molecule.¡ This relatively small but pivotal T cell population bridges the gap between innate and adaptive immunity …
Mast cells are versatile, tissue-homing secretory cells, which were first described by Paul Ehrlich in 1878. Mast cells have long been implicated in the pathogenesis of allergic reactions and certain protective responses to parasites. Their functional role, however, has been dis…

Cancer immunotherapy: principles and practice
Based on a Tumor Immunology Symposium held in Pittsburgh, this work provides comprehensive coverage of the most important aspects of tumor immunology. It reveals novel approaches to the immunotherapy of cancer and presents complex issues in an accessible manner.
An introductory overview of the immunology of cancer including therapeutic approaches, this book will be an invaluable source for clinicians, researchers and students of immunology and molecular biology.
