While the literature abounds, the field has lacked a comprehensive accounting of this progress. Emerging Protein Biotherapeutics consolidates current knowledge of key protein targets important in autoimmunity and cancers, exploring basic aspects and diverse clinical application. Presents Strategies to Exploit Therapeutic Uses In this volume, leading researchers cover many aspects of biology related to protein targets, ranging from the in vivo role in the disease process, to various strategies exploiting development of these targets for therapeutic use. Each chapter includes background, a discussion of clinical implications, an account of preclinical and clinical testing of various candidates, and a listing of key references. This volume makes the study of protein biotherapeutics accessible at all levels of expertise. It offers an efficient and rational way to grasp the theoretical and experimental knowledge currently available while also providing a deeper understanding of disease processes. Most importantly, it presents a framework that can be readily employed by those looking to develop their own strategies in pursuit of new clinical applications.
