No customer reviews yet ISBN 9780824701031

Discussing the systemic immune response in the contexts of health, disease, and therapy, this unique resource-the only broadly based book of its kind available on the subject-offers comprehensive examinations of the pathways and agents that affect the human immune response and provides state-of-the-art presentations on practical methods of immune modulation.
Focuses on the immune response and modulation in infectious diseases, such as HIV, hepatitis, and parasitic infections and highlights immune modulating agents in gastrointestinal diseases, sepsis, cancer, and autoimmunity!
Written by over 50 international authorities representing distinguished institutions in nine countries, Immune Modulating Agents

  • introduces basic immunoregulatory mechanisms as homeostasis
  • details cytokines, cellular and humoral immune responses, and hematopoiesis
  • describes neuroendocrine - immune system interactions and the role of psychological stress on immune competence
  • delineates factors that influence disease susceptibility, including nutrition
  • covers drug delivery systems, gene therapy, organ transplantation, arthritis treatment, and vaccination strategies
  • shows how to design clinical trials using immune modulating agents
  • and more!

    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
