Mit diesem Band verschaffen Sie sich einen Überblick über den gegenwärtigen Stand der Forschung auf dem Gebiet der Impfstoffe. Ausgehend von neuen Erkenntnissen in Molekularbiologie und Immunologie erläutern rund 30 Artikel Ansätze, die sich momentan im Übergang von der Grundlagenforschung zur Anwendung in der Humanmedizin befinden, sowie zukünftige Strategien. Auch hochaktuelle Themen, unter anderem die Abwehr biologischer Kampfstoffe, werden diskutiert.

"...enjoyed reading the book immensely, found it very informative and a good mixture of basic and applied science...definitely recommended..."
Immunology News, August 2004
"This would be a valuable text for those in the field with the expertise."
E-STREAMS, October 2004
"This book thoroughly reviews our understanding of the immunologic response to infectious diseases and the many advances in the development of vaccines...Stefan Kaufmann, who is the founding director of the Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology in Berlin, has brought together a group of experts in various fields of vaccinology from Europe, the United States, and Australia for this challenging project. Immunologists, developers of vaccines, clinical-trial specialists, and molecular biologists will find this book to be of interest...An outstanding section of the book is dedicated to adjuvants and vaccine vectors...I recommend this book to microbiologists, epidemiologists, and practitioners who administer vaccines. Indeed, reading the chapter...is fascinating for all specialists."
New England Journal of Medicine, November 4, 2004
"The presentations are concise, clear, well illustrated, and provide an excellent survey of the subject overall."
IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology, Jan/Feb 2005
"Dr. Kaufmann and eminent contributors, with their outstanding expertise, created an excellent resource for medical professionals and biomedical scientists."
