摘要:"This book covers the basic biology and diverse functions of macrophages in specific diseases and the complex interactions between macrophages and other cells. Topics include their role in the defence against pathogens, as hosts for pathogens (including HIV), their complex involvement in diseases such as arthritis and cancer, and their potential use in novel gene therapy approaches to disease treatment."--Back cover.
