Description: Over the past several years we have witnessed an explosion of information regarding the process by which differentiation of B- and T-cells from stem cells occurs. This progress has yielded not only important insights into significant and fundamental areas of cell biology, but has influenced our thinking in terms of understanding human disease and has offered new ways of therapeutic intervention into disease processes. In this important volume, leading immunologists present an integrated and comprehensive overview of these new advances in B and T lymphocyte development. It is a valuable reference for researchers and clinicians interested in hematopoiesis, immunology, cancer biology, and gene therapy.
-- Covers the application of gene therapy techniques to hematopoietic cells
-- Reviews the significant progress that has been made with the identification and characterization of hematopoietic stem cells and the developmental stages associated with B- and T-cell development
