Transfer factor is the theory that immunity information in the human body can be transferred from cell to cell.
Transfer factors help to stimulate NK cells, a vital component of cell-mediated immunity, while herbs can be valuable to support both cell-mediated and humoral immunity.
Editors Arthur, Schmid and Trapa (American Mathematical Association) have aimed this research at graduate students and mathematicians in the field, and include articles about considerations of the trace formula, transfer factors associated with real reductive groups, weighted orbital integral objects and unitarizability of real and p-adic groups.
