This volume contains a state-of-the-art overview of some of the most exciting new developments in the pathogenesis, immunology and molecular biology of AIDS and in cancer research. Presented by established international researchers, the publication covers four major areas dealing with HIV detection, characterization and pathogenetic mechanisms in AIDS; HIV immunotherapy; HIV and gene regulation; altered gene expression in oncogenesis and role of viruses in human cancers. Biomedical researchers, physicians (especially pediatricians and oncologists working in the area), and anyone wishing to keep up to date with the latest developments in the field of AIDS and malignancies will find this book to be a valuable addition to their libraries.
