Here are the subject keywords with which you can obtain dozens of
military technical reports on immunology from the Defense Technical
Information Center, a government agency.
immunosuppression
immunology
antigen antibody reactions
immunochemistry
immunity
NOTE: Don¹t bother using the DTIC web site--in a nutshell, it¹s
worthless and omits the bulk of the two million technical reports in the
DTIC collection. Send a letter--you¹ll get much better results.
The fee is likely to be free or only a few bucks. You probably want to
include a statement in the letter such as *I agree to pay reasonable
fees associated with this request. Please notify me if the cost will
exceed $30.*, so that they won't delay the processing of the request.
Remember, they will try to dissuade you from asking for such a list. If
they send you a letter, and you don¹t respond, they will withdraw your
request and you won¹t get your information.
Here is a form letter to use for your request:
