Recent developments in basic science and clinical rheumatology make
it appropriate at this time to create a volume devoted to the
immunology of rheumatic diseases. The impact of molecular biology,
gene cloning, and new technologies for establishing hybridomas and
T-cell lines in the laboratory is now beginning to be felt in
clinical medicine. There is a general air of excitement and a
feeling that we stand on the threshold of a new era in molecular
medicine and clinical science. It is this excitement that we have
tried to capture in this book. This volume is divided into five
sections entitled Basic Mechanisms, Autoimmunity, Classical
Concepts of Rheumatic Diseases, Pathogenetic Mechanisms, and
Therapy. This is not an arbitrary arrangement but represents our
belief that from an understanding of basic mechanisms of disease
pathogenesis will come new and more successful forms of treatment
for the sufferers of rheumatic disorders. We have tried in the
selection of authors to choose internationally recognized experts
who have both a scientific and a clinical orientation to their
subjects. We believe the marriage of clinical and basic disciplines
represents the best hope for rapid knowledge transfer from the
laboratory to the clinic, where such knowledge can be used to
improve patient health.
