ABSTRACT
Based on the proceedings of the International Convocation on Immunology held recently at the State University of New York at Buffalo, this up-to-date resource provides a state-of-the-art examination of blood transfusion practice and its future possibilities.
Explains the immunological effects of blood transfusion as well as its immunological and
