- Summary:
- This book educates the reader on the molecular and cellular mechanism of allergic diseases in the respiratory tract covering all aspects, from its immunological basis to its application in drug development. In contrast to other books, this book focuses on well-known and newly-emerging cells, cytokins, and mediators involved in the pathogenesis of allergic diseases in the respiratory tract. In particular, this book emphasises the findings of novel drug targets. This book allows immunologists, allergologists and researchers in the pharmaceutical industry to learn and appreciate the target biolog
