Biological Response Modifiers in Human Oncology and Immunology

Biological Response Modifiers in Human Oncology and Immunology edited by Andor Szentivanyi.

The topic of biological response modifiers has attracted the attention of many biomedical investigators, including immunologists, oncologists, pharmacologists, microbiologists, and biochemists, as well as clinical practitioners of medicine. This has occurred mainly because of the realization that th...
