Regulation of the Immune Response

  • Chapter
Clinical Cellular Immunology

Part of the book series: Contemporary Immunology ((CONTIM))

Abstract

When I sat down to write this chapter, I was reminded of the story of how three blind men attempted to describe an elephant (Fig. 1). All of their descriptions were accurate yet no one, hearing these descriptions, would conjure up the vision of an elephant. So it is with a book such as this. Each chapter provides accurate descriptions of a portion of the whole yet it may not leave any of us with an overall view of the “principles of clinical cellular immunology.” Thus, several “basic” chapters, including this one, have been written in an attempt to provide the reader with an understanding of the basic immunological phenomena that have led to the advances illustrated in the more clinically oriented chapters and to the concepts of clinical cellular immunology to which this book is addressed.
