This book incorporates the latest advances in immunopharmacological
treatment. One objective has been to provide appropriate bridges
between the basic sciences of immunology and pharmacology on the
one hand and clinical medicine on the other. A further intention
has been to emphasize those advances in immunology and pharmacology
that are of clinical importance while retaining those facts that,
while not new, remain clinically useful. The immunology section
provides the necessary background for immunopharmacologi cal
treatment. The chapters on individual cell types include normal
surface markers, mode of activation, and activation markers and
functions in health and disease. The chapters on pharmacology give
comprehensive information on immunosuppressive drugs in regular use
today, their biochemical and cellular mechanisms of action,
pharmaco kinetics, dosage regimens, therapeutic responses, adverse
reactions, and drug interactions and tolerance. In addition,
certain therapeutic principles that are still in an experimental
phase are described, for example, immunotoxins, thymic hormones,
and interleukins. The book presents comprehensive information on
various autoimmune diseases, the etiopathogenetic immune mechanisms
where these are known, and the current possibilities for
immunopharmacological intervention. The specific disease section
also covers rare situations, fluctuations in disease patterns, and
subgroups of patients and immunophar macological treatment in these
situations. Altogether, the book represents a practical textbook
for clinicians and advanced students who want to be updated on
therapeutic principles with regard to autoimmune diseases and
transplantation."
