Since the discovery of viral superantigens in 1991, immunologists have made a number of new discoveries

Viral Superantigens is the first complete review of this new area of study. Edited by a leading researcher and authored by a distinguished team of contributors, this comprehensive analysis covers every aspect of viral superantigens and related subjects, including critical topics such as effects on the T cell repertoire and viral superantigen-mediated diseases. This book brings readers up to date on progress in understanding viral superantigens and focuses on the interplay between viruses producing superantigens and the immune system. Immunologists and virologists, clinical practitioners, and graduate students will find this book an invaluable resource to encourage further advances in research.
