The book comprises of five chapters and describes the origin,
production and scope of cytokines, which are the most important
molecules of immune system around which the field of functional
immunology revolves. This book describes how the immune system
responds to injuries and insults by foreign antigens (bacteria,
viruses etc.) and produces cytokines, which then, through various
immune response mechanisms, protect the body against pathogenic
invasions, how these glycoproteins are involved in the
differentiation and maturation of immune cells, how lymph nodes are
involved in concentrating the different forms of cytokines, how
immunogenicity of a cytokine is affected and how a cytokine is
related to the immune response. Various types of cytokines and the
organization and expression of cytokine receptors are described
separately. The properties, mechanistic function and therapeutic
cytokines are also discussed in separate chapters. The
characteristics, production and important roles played by different
cytokines in research, diagnostics and therapeutics is described
separately. Lastly the role of cytokines and chemokine's in
infectious diseases and their importance in the detection of
various kinds of diseases like cancer, HIV-AIDS, tuberculosis,
malaria etc. are discussed in detail separately. The book contains
a reasonable number of diagrams, flowcharts and tables. Besides
this, various interesting and self-explanatory illustrations are
incorporated to make the book useful to the students for whom it is
written. The question bank, which includes long answer type, short
answer type and multiple choice questions with their answers at the
very end of each chapter, is developed to get a full grasp of the
topic.
