Acute Phase Proteins - Regulation and Functions of Acute Phase Proteins
Edited by: Francisco Veas
Book Details
ISBN: 978-953-307-252-4
Number of pages:368 pages
Publisher: InTech
Publication date: October 2011
Size:8.95MB
Book Description
The two volumes of Acute Phase Proteins book consist of chapters that give a large panel of fundamental and applied knowledge on one of the major elements of the inflammatory process during the acute phase response, i.e., the acute phase proteins expression and functions that regulate homeostasis. We have organized this book in two volumes - the first volume, mainly containing chapters on structure, biology and functions of APP, the second volume discussing different uses of APP as diagnostic tools in human and veterinary medicine.
