Therapeutic Immunology discusses evolving and established modalities of treatment in both immunologic and systemic diseases. It will be organized by modality (drugs, biologics, maneuvers) and by point of intervention rather than disease, and explain how and why these interventions work in these particular disorders and at various stages on the pathophysiologic process. The authors are considered to be among the ablest people in modern immunology and their support team is equally as impressive. Using a clinical versus theoretical approach, the chapter will be organized similarly as follows: introduction, history of the agent, structure, molecular and cellular basis of action, diseases in which this approach is useful,
