This volume of Molecular Biology of Hematopoiesis is dedicated to many inter national scientists and clinicians for their contribution to the field of Hematology/ Oncology presented at the 11th International Symposium on Molecular Biology of Hematopoiesis, which was held in Bormio, Italy, June 25-29, 1998. The continuous support of the Presidents of the meeting, Professor F. Takaku, President of Jichi University, and E. D. Thomas, Nobel Laureate, was greatly acknowledged, especially Professor Takaku, for his vision and support for development of gene therapy in Japan. New information on BMT for autoimmune disease and organ transplantation was presented at the symposium and is published in th...
Based on lectures given at the Ettore Majorana Centre's 25th Course on Resistance to Antitumor Agents in the Laboratory and Clinic: Problems and Implications, April 1988. A number of compounds have properties that inhibit the proliferation of neoplastic cells, and these compounds make up a large array of therapeutic agents now available to the physician treating cancer patients. Experimental evidence and controlled clinical trials have shown that the failure to reach the expected goal during treatment is principally due to the emergence of drug resistant cancer cell clones. The therapist's task is to design schedules using single or combined treatments in order to prevent or circumvent the obstacle of drug resistance. This book aims to update clinical oncologists dealing with this problem. Book club price, $51. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

The third international workshop on leucocyte typing antigens reports the results of collaborative experiments involving over 800 antibodies. This volume contains the first and only complete account of the experiments and the subsequent analyses, which produced a careful description of fifty human leucocyte antigens, twenty-four of them fully characterized for the first time. Antigens specific for or shared by T-Cells, B-Cells, activated lymphocytes, myeloid cells and platelets are featured. The papers detail their distribution, molecular structure and function, and discuss the role that the antigens may play in investigating and understanding pathological processes, particularly in leukemias and lymphomas.
