Innate Immunity to Pulmonary Infection

No customer reviews yet ISBN 9780470026564

Part of the prestigious Novartis Foundation series, this volume uniquely addresses the use of innate immunity to treat or prevent infectious diseases of the lung.

Innate Immunity to Pulmonary Infection:

  • Provides a comprehensive overview of pulmonary infectious diseases, including basic pathology, current and potential therapies, and detailed consideration of the innate biological resistance mechanisms in the lung
  • Thoroughly examines the major topic of innate immunity in immunology, which is now seen as key to the pathogenesis of and vaccination strategies for infectious diseases
  • Describes the genetic and environmental factors which determine the outcome of infection, such as latency of Tuberculosis, blood stream invasion from local infection, and local target tissue damage
  • Covers the roles of cells such as neutrophils, macrophages and dendritic cells and of molecular components such as Toll-like receptors
  • Discusses the clinical applications of the new knowledge regarding innate immunity and how this can be used in both treatment and prevention (vaccination) strategies
  • Includes contributions from an international and interdisciplinary group of experts

Innate Immunity to Pulmonary Infection is an essential resource for researchers in both industry and academia. It is of interest for all those interested in the disciplines of immunology, virology, biology, biotechnology and genetics.

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
