Guidebook to Cytokines and Their Receptors Summary

Guidebook to Cytokines and Their Receptors by Nicos A. Nicola (Senior Principal Research Fellow, The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, Melbourne)

The number of cytokines and related growth factors has increased dramatically in recent years to several dozen. Moreover, the names of the cytokines are generally uninformative of biological function, or are now recognised as misleading as new and unexpected activities are discovered in new bioassays. This new text provides an essential reference manual for all known cytokines, growth factors, interleukins and lymphokines as well as their receptors. Succinct and user friendly this new guide book will become an essential companion for any scientist working in this field.

Guidebook to Cytokines and Their Receptors Reviews

It is the best concise and up-to-date information on cytokines I know, and probably the source of choice for anybody wanting to collect rapidly the essentials on single effector proteins, their receptors and the way they signal. * Marco Baggiolini, FEBS Letters 369 (1995) *
The simple but broad coverage of a fundamentally important control system makes for an attractive and helpful guide to tomorrow's toxicology. * Anthony Dayan, St. Bartholomew's Medical College, British Toxicology Society Newsletter No. 5, December 1995 *
this is an excellent manual ... Timely and detailed, comprehensive and well illustrated, Guidebook to Cytokines and Their Receptors is an invaluable resource for both the novice and the expert. * Karen Martell and Axel Ullrich, Max-Planck-Institut fur Biochemie, TIBS 21 - June 1996 *
This is a valuable source of reference, allowing one to 'reach for the shelf' and obtain immediate factual information on the cytokine or receptor of interest. * A. Rhodes, British Journal of Biomedical Science, 1995 *
The Guidebook is the most extensive compilation of information currently available on cytokines and the receptors that mediate their biological effect in vivo. Overall, we strongly recommend this volume as a reference text. It is relatively inexpensive and is very broad in its overview of a rapidly developing field. It provides an easily accessible, readily digestible summary of essential information on a class of regulators that are of increasing appreciated importance in basic research and clinical medicine. * Kent T. HayGlass, Julia D. Rempel, Canadian Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, Vol. 1, No. 3, 1996 *
