Hildegard Büning).ReviewsThis book provides a thorough and comprehensive description of the problems faced by gene therapists, and their continuing need to overcome the immune system to allow effective gene therapy in future clinical trials. It is well placed to be a useful and informative textbook, which I would highly recommend. (Immunology News, May 2009) This book, put together by experts, delivers a fresh approach to thinking about gene therapy and delivery of the vectors. The information is as current as a multiauthored book can be and would be useful to students as well as physicians.
