Full Description
This work encapsulates the presentations of the participants at the 20th Round Table Symposium on Applied Immunology held in Kitzbuhel, Austria, in 1989. Specialists in the field of immunology, transplantation immunology and transplantation medicine in particular, report on their own work over the last 20 years. These personal recollections offer insights into the way that transplantation immunology and transplantation medicine has developed and grown in that time. Several chapters cover the contributions and influences of the late Nobel Prizewinner, Sir Peter Medawar; another, based on the immunology lecture given by J. Aschoff, discusses chronobiology. The book is dedicated to the memory of the late Professor Walter Brendel, who initiated and organized the Round Table Symposia for 20 years. This monograph on immunology, experimental and clinical medicine, biology and surgery is intended for researchers and clinicians.
