This practical volume examines a number of topics
that explore the current status of immunotherapy and diagnostic markers for
neurodegenerative disorders. With a focus on Alzheimer’s disease, the first
sections of the book examine immunotherapeutic approaches for the
aforementioned disease as well as for Parkinson’s disease and Huntington’s disease,
amongst others. The last section of the book covers the importance of biomarker
techniques to catch these diseases early enough for the treatments to be most
useful. Written for the Methods in
Pharmacology and Toxicology series, this book contains the kind of detailed
descriptions and implementation advice that will offer a smooth transition into
the lab.



Authoritative and useful, Immunotherapy and Biomarkers in
Neurodegenerative Disorders aims to aid in the continued progress in the
development of novel immune-based drugs and diagnostic tools for these
devastating brain diseases.
