Reviews
From the reviews:
“This very interesting volume contains 18 reviews grouped in five chapters and presents the accumulated knowledge related to the IL-17 cytokines, a novel family of cytokines that defines a new effector T cell, the Th17 cell, and extends the Th1-Th2 paradigm. … This multi-authors volume is an exciting and rewarding reading for scientists and medical doctors exploring novel mechanisms of inflammation and therapy.” (Mihaela Trif, Romanian Journal of Biochemistry, Vol. 47 (2), 2010)Editors and Affiliations
