| Description |
Chemokines play an important role in recruiting inflammatory cells into tissues in response to infection and inflammation. This work, Volume 1 of a two-volume set, discusses the immunobiology of chemokines. It is divided into two parts: cellular targets in innate and adaptive immunity, and effector cell traffic-unrelated functions.
