"Lymphocyte Development" presents an extremely up-to-date account of molecular processes involved in the development of lymphocytes. Topics include the selection processes involved in B and T lymphocyte maturation, immune receptor gene rearrangement, signaling pathways involved in cell cycle progression and apoptosis, and the transcriptional regulation of lymphoid ontogeny. It will interest researchers in immunology and it will be useful as a supplementary text for a graduate level immunology course.
