Immune Regulation and Immunotherapy in Autoimmune Disease

This volume will review the most recent advances in the understanding
of cellular and molecular mechanisms for immune responses and immune
regulation. Chapters in the first portion of this book will discuss
the theoretical basis for current immunotherapies for autoimmune
diseases. The second portion of the book will provide an updated
review on the research behind the clinical trials/immunotherapies
(e.g. T-cell vaccination, antibody therapy, etc.) in the areas of
autoimmune diseases by the principal investigators of these studies.
These chapters will discuss clinical and basic research as well as
immunological data in the context of cellular and molecular
mechanisms of the therapies. The book will finish with chapters by
leaders in the field who will provide expert views on challenges and
future directions.
