The eosinophil is a type of white blood cell which plays a crucial role in the immunological defence mechanisms of the human body. Professor Kay has brought together an internationally respected group of doctors and scientists to produce a research level monograph which describes the recent advances in understanding which have placed the eosinophil at the centre of numerous pathophysiological mechanisms underlying allergy and asthma. This up to date, state of the art treatise includes chapters on the molecular biology and immunology of the eosinophil, the interactions of eosinophils with other blood elements and with the major immunological mediators in the body such as interleukin-5, platelet activating factor. There is also detailed coverage of the very latest advances in the anti-allergic drug research which promise to revolutionise the therapy of allergy and asthma.
