Main description:
This volume is THE definitive, completely up-to-date, reference work for ALL researchers and clinicians working in autoimmunity.
Up-to-Date: This is a timely critical review of more than 100 autoantibodies by leading experts in their respective fields, and includes many recent references.
International Experts: The 120 Chapters have been written by the top international cadre of authors who have provided structured, expert contributions.
Comprehensive: A total comprehensive perspective on the processes which induce, inhibit or otherwise affect autoantibodies in humans.
Useful to Researchers and Clinicians: Chapters generally include methods of detection, pathogenic role, factors in pathogenicity and genetics as well as clinical utility with disease associations and frequencies.
