Host Defenses to Intracellular Pathogens Proceedings of a conference held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, June 10-12, 1981 / edited by Toby K. Eisenstein, Paul Actor, Herman Friedman.

The subject matter of this volume was the basis for a confer­ ence held in Philadelphia in June, 1981, and is an important one in the contemporary area of how the host interacts with micro­ organisms. In conception, it grew out of a graduate course entitled, "The Infectious Process," which...
