Product Description
For over 25 years the study of retroviruses has underpinned much of what is known about information transfer in cells and the genetic and biochemical mechanisms that underlie cell growth and cancer induction. Emergent diseases such as AIDS and adult T-cell lymphoma have widened even further the community of investigators directly concerned with retroviruses, a development that has highlighted the need for an integrated understanding of their biology and their unique association with host genomes. This remarkable volume satisfies that need. Written by a group of the field's most distinguished investigators, rigorously edited to provide a seamless narrative, and elegantly designed for clarity and readability, this book is an instant classic that demands attention from scientists and physicians studying retroviruses and the disorders in which they play a role.


CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 4.5 based on 2 reviews)

Just what I was in search for!  
I'm a postgraduate student and I've Virology as a focal point in my studies. My professor in Retrovirology wasn't really structured in bringing the stuff over to us. Besides studying in a language which is not your own (german) deteriorated the situation. As a consequence, I was in search of help and I stumbled over this great piece online. I'm more than satisfied with it; it covers all the sections I became mixed up with during the lectures and more. I would call it the bible of retro virology. I've my exams in a few weeks time and I look forward to it with optimism. I just need to do some thorough revision and I think all should be okay. So I strongly recommend this piece.

A last word to the authors, I think publishing an updated version won't be a bad gesture. The current version is three years old and we all know there is strong research going on in this biological discipline.

Best regards

Could you help to us, dear Dr. John M.Coffin, please!!!  
Dear Dr. John M.Coffin! There is Dr.Adelya R.Kalinina, M.D.,Ph.D., Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry Russian Acad. Sci., Moscow, Russia.

Take my admiration about your book!

I would be very thankfull for you if you could send me sheme(illustration) of Mouse Mammary tumor virus...It's very important for me, because I want to use your data for lectures materials for student study. Sorry, right now we (Russian scientists) have not possibylities to use modern scientific literature in full volume.

Thank you very mush.

Dr. Kalinina Adelya.
