Book Description
T Lymphocytes in the Liver is the first book to offer a comprehensive review of the newly understood relationship between the liver and the immune system. This edited volume examines the immunobiology of T cells – the way their behavior in the liver differs from that in other organs, and, conversely, the liver’s ability to effect changes in the activity of such immune cells. A number of relevant, cutting-edge issues are considered, including vaccine development, the liver’s potential role in autoimmune tissue damage, tolerance and transplant rejection, and the use of animal organs for human patients.
