Cytokines and Growth Factors in Blood Transfusion Proceedings of the Twentyfirst International Symposium on Blood Transfusion, Groningen 1996, organized by the Red Cross Blood Bank Noord Nederland

Their findings are presented in four sections in this volume: Fundamental aspects - cytokines in development of T-cells, growth factors in haematopoiesis, growth factor receptors and signal transduction, cytokine response in platelet and whole blood transfusions. Function, production and diagnosis &...
