Atlas ‘Effectors of Anti-Tumor Immunity’ is a unique scientific publication, which includes major issues of up-to-date information about immunophenotype, morphology and function of main effectors of anti-tumor immunity presented in areasonable format. Atlas comprises a large number of illustrations presented by schemes and original micrographs demonstrating morphological features and ultrastructure of immunocompetent cells at various stages of differentiation. The volume includes data referring to the history of anti-tumor immunity effectors research, state of the art and perspectives for development of anti-canceradoptive immunotherapy methods. A special section of the Atlas describes cellular tumor microenvironment and micro-anatomy of carcinomas. Several parts include data about killer cells (natural killer T-cells, lymphokine-activated killers) and T-regulatory lymphocytes. Presents description of specific morphological, immunophenotype functional features of immunocompetent cells and their role in anti-tumor defense Includes original color pictures (photographs of cells and immunological reactions) as well as electronic micrographs that improveperception of the material by the illustrative presentation INDICE: From the contents Preface.- Chapter 1.
