Klappentext zu „Experimental and Applied Immunotherapy “
Immunotherapy is now recognized as an essential component of treatment for a widevariety of cancers. It is an interdisciplinary field that is critically dependent upon animproved understanding of a vast network of cross-regulatory cellular populations anda diversity of molecular effectors; it is a leading example of translational medicinewith a favorable concept-to-clinical-trial timeframe of just a few years. There are manyestablished immunotherapies already in existence, but there are exciting new cancer immunotherapies just on the horizon, which are likely to be more potent, less toxic and more cost effective than many therapies currently in use.Experimental and Applied Immunotherapy is a state-of-the-art text offering a roadmapleading to the creation of these future cancer-fighting immunotherapies. It includes essaysby leading researchers that cover a wide variety of topics including T cell and non-Tcell therapy, monoclonal antibody therapy, dendritic cell-based cancer vaccines, mesenchymalstromal cells, negative regulators in cancer immunology and immunotherapy,non-cellular aspects of cancer immunotherapy, the combining of cancer vaccines withconventional therapies, the combining of oncolytic viruses with cancer immunotherapy,transplantation, and more. The field of immunotherapy holds great promise that willsoon come to fruition if creative investigators can bridge seemingly disparate disciplines,such as T cell therapy, gene therapy, and transplantation therapy. This text is a vital tool in the building of that bridge.

Pressezitat
From the reviews:"The text is divided into five parts, each comprising of one or more chapters written by word-renowned scientists in the field. ... the editors have made an excellent effort to incorporate most relevant topics on immunotherapy in this textbook, and most chapters have been well written with supporting diagrams and tables. The text provides researchers in the field with up-to-date concepts and detailed current and future strategies for cancer immunotherapy." (Ali Roghanian, Immunology News, May, 2012)
"Cancer immunotherapy is a vast area of research and it is covered in some depth by this very informative book. Each of the 19 chapters consists of a quick introduction to the specific area of interest of one of the contributors followed by in-depth analysis of experimental techniques currently being used successfully, or otherwise, in the field. ... Overall, an enlightening book that covers a variety of immunotherapy techniques, but the book is directed specifically at those interested in cancer treatment." (Donal Wall, Microbiology Today, November, 2011)
"A highly informative compendium of essays with a heavy focus on cancer immunotherapy. ... the essays are excellent and present the state of the art of many emerging and established immunotherapies for cancer. ... Immunisation approaches are considered by several authors. ... I can recommend this excellent collection of succinct essays that span the breath of ongoing research in cancer immunotherapy." (British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, May, 2011)
