Overview: Covers one of the hottest topics in immunology today.Compiles recent developments in T cell immunobiology and clinical applications.Will have broad appeal to both researchers and clinicians.Includes s.A major process of rediscovery has taken place in the field of Cellular Immunology over the past 12 years—subsets of T lymphocytes exist that are specifically dedicated to regulation or as it should be more appropriately termed suppression of all aspects of immune responses. ..It was only after Prof. Sakaguchi identified the CD25 antigen in 1995 as a marker for a major population of T c

Overview: Comprehensive and only up-to-date collection of the most important approaches in this field.Presents both academic approaches and industrial experiences.Includes supplementary material: Thirty years ago, I first entered the dark realm of software engineering, through a prior interest in documentation. In those days, documentation pretty much meant functional specifications. The idea that stakeholders in a system (its implementers, its end-users, its maintainers, and so forth) might want something other than an alphabetic list of function definitions was just taking hold. There was an
