{"product_id":"9781620812983","title":"Interferons","description":"Interferons are cytokines that are very important in regulating both innate and adaptive immune response.

Type II interferons, mainly IFN-y enhances T cell polarisation in the lymph nodes that result in their expansion. This book discusses the characterisation, mechanisms of action and clinical applications of interferons. Topics include interferon-gamma, oligodendrocyte injury and inflammatory demyelination; the role of IFN-y in oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma; interferons in multiple sclerosis; the effect of interferons on NK cell activity in HIV infection and tumour cell development; and understanding the mechanisms of interaction between serine proteases, serine protease receptors and interferons.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers, Inc (US)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65429377122653,"sku":null,"price":149.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/3893\/2573\/files\/9781620812983.jpg?v=1789221523","url":"https:\/\/shop.gazellebookservices.co.uk\/products\/9781620812983","provider":"Gazelle Book Services","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
