Index.
"...a must have book for any health science library." (AIDS Book
Review Journal, Vol. 69, September-December 2002)
Cellular Aspects of HIV Infection highlights many of the important aspects of HIV interaction with host cells and with the immune system. Notably, several chapters cover the most recent observations on both innate and adaptive immune responses and approaches for reconstituting the immune system by a variety of procedures. This edited book provides a ready reference for valuable background and current information on many aspects of HIV pathogenesis.(Jay A. Levy, M.D., University of California San Francisco)
