"…figures are clearly illustrative, and complex concepts, such as the multistep recruitment paradigm, are presented in a way which can be easily understood.…will be useful for both scientists within the various fields of inflammation research and physicians with special interest in allergic diseases."-Allergy"…this is the first book exclusively devoted to a defined immunopathological process (allergic inflammation) that produces a variety of clinical entitites….a useful resource for students, basic scientists and clinicians who wish to be conversant with current developments in the immunobiology of CAMs and allergic diseases….[and] in the promising field of anti-adhesive therapy, particularly of allergic inflammation."-Immunology Today
