How is the new student, or even the expert in the field, to keep track of which cytokines does what, or synthesize the available scattered information on cytokines into general principles? This new guide provides an essential reference manual for all known cytokines, growth factors, interleukins and lymphokines as well as their receptors. Succinct, comprehensive and user-friendly this new guide book will become an essential companion for any scientist working in this rapidly expanding field.
