Book Description
This reference describes the latest advances in the development and design of an HIV preventive vaccine-detailing the pathogenesis and genetic variability of HIV infection for the construction of molecular and therapeutic strategies to reduce the progression and transmission of AIDS. With contributions by universally recognized authorities in the field, AIDS Vaccine Research discusses § major obstacles in the
identification of a preventive vaccine § the role of innate immunity in management of HIV infection § the impact of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) on AIDS research § the creation of an effective mucosal DNA vaccine § the effect of the AIDS epidemic on developing countries Offering nearly 2000 contemporary references to facilitate further study, AIDS Vaccine Research is a timely manual suitable for
immunologists, virologists, pathologists, epidemiologists, pharmacologists, microbiologists, hematologists, hepatologists, AIDS researchers, and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.

Book Description
Current heart failure therapeutics affects symptoms without appreciably reducing the mortality rate of 50 0n five years -- suggesting a failure in treating the underlying mechanism. This book proposes a new mechanism for heart failure; immune mediated cardiac remodelling for cardiac dysfunction.
The outstanding editor team of two internationally recognized immunologists -- Ronald Watson, who has studied heart disease in immune dysfunction for a decade and has a patent for an immunotherapy of heart disease by immune regulation, and Douglas Larson, whose experience in cardiac transplantation immunology has provided the foundation for research into novel therapeutics for heart failure and hypertension - makes Immune Dysfunction and Immunotherapy in Heart Disease the definitive reference to the state of the science in this area.
The four parts of the book address:
* Immune Dysfunction Leading to Heart Disease: Induction by Physiological Changes
* Immune Dysfunction Promoting CVD: Induction by Transplantation Drugs
* Immune Dysfunction Leading to Heart Dysfunction: Induction or Prevention by Cardiotherapeutic Drugs
* Immune Dysfunction Leading to Heart Disease: Induction by Pathogens
Both researchers and practitioners will find this authoritative volume an excellent source of information on novel immune targeted therapeutics.
