* Summarises and reviews the important field of genetic therapy with respect to the latest immunological advances in the lab and clinic* Unique treatment of immunology and immunotherapy in gene - approached from a vector and target organ point of view rather than from the perspective a specific diseases* Broad appeal - applicable for immunology and genetics / gene therapy, recombinant DNA studies, transplantation, virology, cancer research and tumor research
