No customer reviews yet ISBN 9780443448638

The Immunology of Horses and Donkeys offers a comprehensive overview of the immune systems of equids, bridging a critical gap by combining current research with foundational concepts and emphasizing both mechanisms and practical applications. The book covers immune development, disease resistance, vaccination, and immune disorders, supporting improved health management in horses and donkeys. Organized logically, it begins with the evolutionary history and domestication of equids and then explores immune ontogeny, innate and adaptive responses, and lymphoid tissue structure. Chapters detail the major histocompatibility complex, cytokine signaling, antigen-presenting cells, and mucosal immunity.

Additional sections address the microbiota, vaccine strategies, and immune responses to bacterial, viral, and parasitic infections, providing a holistic view of equine immune health. Users will find content that advances understanding in immunology, biomedical research, and veterinary medicine, supporting the development of better diagnostics, vaccines, and therapies. The book's clear, thorough approach benefits both scientific discovery and clinical application, ultimately improving equine health and informing broader mammalian immunology studies.

Immunology, Inflammation and Diseases of the Eye
<p>This selection of articles from the <i>Encyclopedia of the Eye</i> provides a comprehensive overview of immunological features, diseases and inflammation of the eye and its support structures and organs. Rather than taking an immunological focus that is strictly suitable for clinicians, the volume offers a considerable basic science background and addresses a broad range of topics - the immune system of the eye, its various disorders, mechanisms of inflammation of the eye and visual system, treatment, wound healing mechanisms, stem cells, and more.</p>

Advances in Immunology: Volume 81
Volume 81 of <i>Advances in Immunology</i> contains articles on a vast range of immunology topics including the regulation of the immune response by the interaction of chemokines and proteases as well as roles of the Semaphorin Family in immune regulation. It has a chapter devoted to B Lymphoid Neoplasms of Mice and another on the Zebrafish as a model organism to study development of the immune system. This volume will be of interest to immunologists in all industries.

T Cell Subsets: Cellular Selection, Commitment and Identity Volume 83
This first thematic issue, of the <b>Advances in Immunology</b> series, highlights the remarkable new insights into the mechanisms that govern development and function of T cell lineages. Recent developments in the understanding of the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms that regulate development of the two major T cell lineages will have a fundamental impact on a number of research fields -immunology, cell biology, hematology and stem cell research. All of these groups have a vested interest in comprehending issues such as stem cell self renewal, progenitor plasticity, lineage commitment and cellular identity. Immunologists have a special interest in the mechanisms that allow selection of a T cell repertoire whose members integrate genetic information for T cell receptor, co-receptor and specialized immunologic function, since this process lies at the core of adaptive immunity.<b>T Cell Subsets</b> is a timely and invaluable review for immunologists, cell biologists hematologists and stem cell researchers
