Immunology is a key subject for transplantation clinicians. Due to the complex issues of an organ’s acceptance or rejection, there has been an explosion of research and knowledge in this area in recent years.
Produced in association with the American Society of Transplantation and written by experts in the field, Transplant Immunology provides a comprehensive overview of the topic related to clinical transplantation.
Starting with the basic functionality of the immune system, it then moves on to cover the latest developments in immunosuppressive drugs and protocols, as well as a look at all emerging technologies in the field.
Key chapters include:
- Transplant-related complications
- Immune responses to transplants
- Emerging issues in transplantation
- Biomarkers of Allograft rejection and tolerance
- T cells and the principles of immune responses
In full color throughout, over 100 outstanding diagrams support the text, all figures being fully downloadable via the book’s companion website. The result is an essential tool for those managing patients awaiting and undergoing organ transplantation, including transplant surgeons, clinicians, immunologists, and researchers.
