Clinical Immunobiology, Volume 2 covers the advances in the field being made to apply bone marrow transplantation to the treatment of several diseases. This volume is divided into 11 chapters and begins with surveys of the clinical considerations of bone marrow transplantation. Considerable chapters are devoted to the application of this transplantation to the treatment of various diseases, including aplastic anemia, aregenerative pancytopenia, leukemia, uniformly fatal severe combined immunodeficiency diseases, and Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome. Other chapters examine the cellular engineering in the form of bone marrow and thymus transplantation. The remaining chapters consider the effects of exposure to excessive amounts of radiation or cytotoxic chemicals, as well as the hematopoietic failure based on malfunction of the complex process of normal hematological development and maintenance. This book will be of great value to clinical immunobiologists, practicing physicians, researchers, and medical and biology students.
