- I have been reading a book titled "Lymphokines and Interleukins" by
- Maureen M. Dawson published by CRC Press (Boca Raton) in 1991.
-
- The book is absolutely brilliant in that it is easily understood and
- provides the best definitions and examples that I have seen in an
- Immunology book. Her explanation of the overall immune response in
- chapter 1 is exquisite.
-
- Ms. Dawson has accomplished the ultimate sin in science: She knows what
- she is writing about and uses a technique that allows others to
- understand what she is writing about. She does not get lost in details.
-
- I strongly recommend it and hope that others find it as interesting as I
- have. The content is a necessity for understanding immune system cell
- interactions and the new focus on Th1/Th2 immune responses controlled
- by lymphokines and interleukins. Who knows, maybe even immune response
- suppression is controlled by cytokines rather than specific and
- non-specific suppressor cells.
