Description
This work offers comprehensive, up-to-date coverage of cytokine biology in veterinary and agricultural species, describing the role of cytokines in physiological and pathological processes. It addresses recent advances and new information on the function of cytokines in reproduction, detoxification of xenobiotics, growth modulation and other areas, and discusses the approaches to and pitfalls of studying cytokines in animals.

A reference that reviews the current status of cytokine biology in domestic animals, and also helps to establish an improved foundation for future research. The volume is arranged in sections on the biology of veterinary cytokines, prophylactic immunopotentiation, role of cytokines in animal health and disease, and future directions in veterinary medicine. By focusing on domestic and companion animals, the precise state of knowledge for these species is derived, as opposed to extrapolating from information gathered from humans and rodent model systems.
