About this title

Synopsis

The Cytokine Reference is the most complete work for anyone interested in the role of cytokines in host defense processes. With essential and comprehensive information on all known cytokines, including chemokines, growth factors and neuropeptides, the database will include hundreds of entries with detailed descriptions of cytokine genes, proteins, cell sources, activities, receptors, receptor signal transduction, gene activation, pathophysiology, therapeutics and techniques. This encyclopedic reference is written by a panel of global experts and will include extensive tables and diagrams. This book/online bundle consists of a two-volume print set, plus a regularly updated and searchable Online Database.
Cytokines are produced by virtually all the cells in our bodies, and they regulate the systems that defend us against infection, tumors, and trauma. This publication and database will enable all those working in the field to find the information they need about this ever-expanding field.

Store Description

With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
