SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
The avail- ability of new genetic and immunological techniques, especially recom- binant DNA methods and monoclonal antibody technology, has provided powerful tools for unravelling the genetic, biochemical and immunologi- cal basis of viral and microbial pathogenesis.
