From the reviews: "This book describes in detail major advances in vaccine adjuvant discovery, design, development, and use. ... fills a void in our knowledge of vaccine adjuvants, providing one authoritative text source for the latest information on this topic. The book meets the authors' objectives superbly. ... it could serve as a reference for students, residents, and practitioners, particularly in the fields of infectious diseases and immunology. ... It will serve as a valuable reference for those interested in this field." (Archana NMI Chatterjee, Doody's Review Service, July, 2006)
