Immunoinformatics

"Investigators considering problems of recombinant vaccine design, possible host responses, and how to select likely sites from a large pool of information (the protein of interest) will find valuable material here." -Doody's Book Review, Weighted Numerical Score:77 - 3 Stars "...a value to virtually any investigator in this general field." -Doody's Book Review, Weighted Numerical Score:77 - 3 Stars "...a valuable addition to libraries in universities and research institutes, R & D firms engaged in the development of vaccines and immunotherapeutics, and clinical research centres." -Immunology news
