During the past decades, with the introduction of the recombinant
DNA, hybridoma and transgenic technologies there has been an
exponential evolution in understanding the pathogenesis, diagnosis
and treatment of a large number of human diseases. The technologies
are evident with the development of cytokines and monoclonal
antibodies as therapeutic agents and the techniques used in gene
therapy. Immunopharmacology is that area of biomedical sciences
where immunology, pharmacology and pathology overlap. It concerns
the pharmacological approach to the immune response in
physiological as well as pathological events. This goals and
objectives of this textbook are to emphasize the developments in
immunology and pharmacology as they relate to the modulation of
immune response. The information includes the pharmacology of
cytokines, monoclonal antibodies, mechanism of action of
immune-suppressive agents and their relevance in tissue
transplantation, therapeutic strategies for the treatment of AIDS
and the techniques employed in gene therapy. The book is intended
for health care professional students and graduate students in
pharmacology and immunology.
