world-renowned authorities address the most important aspects of the immunology of retroviruses, namely immune response, genetic and virologic factors modulating the response, and the hiv-specific humoral and cell-mediated responses. in addition to the basic concepts of immune restoration, key topics covered include immune restoration after antiviral therapy and vaccine-induced immune response. up-to-date and authoritative, retroviral immunology: immune response and restoration provides a much-needed critical synthesis of both the experimental and clinical aspects of retroviral infections, and lays the groundwork for developing effective restoration strategies for the many immune-compromised hiv and aids patients who suffer fatal opportunistic infections.
