Download or read book Allergy and Allergic Diseases written by Judah A. Denburg and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 589 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Allergy and Allergic Diseases has been organized to provide an up-to-date, clinically relevant compilation of one of the most exciting areas of investigation in medicine today-allergic disease, especially as it pertains to the skin, airways, and bowel. With the dramatic rise in the incidence of various allergic disorders worldwide, and the coming of age of the discipline of Clinical Immunology and Allergy, the interface between basic and clinical science in this arena demands highlighting in this comprehensive new syn thesis.1t is with the hope of filling this evident need that Allergy and Allergic Diseases: The New Mechanisms and Therapeutics has been put together. The book's content is divided into both basic and clinical sections, with emphasis on various components of the immune and inflammatory response as they relate to the development of allergic disease. Topics span the range from molecular biology to clinical symptomatology, with an effort to make this of interest to as broad a constituency as possible. This book will therefore be of substantial interest to specialists in Clinical Immunology and Allergy, scientists studying the cellular and molecular biology of in flammation and immunity, as well as internists, teachers, developers of medical school curricula, and members of industry focused on drug discovery and therapeutics. Indeed, a separate section has been added to deal with some specific issues in this latter field.
Download or read book Immunological Mechanisms in Asthma and Allergic Diseases written by Douglas S. Robinson and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in asthma and allergic diseases, from basic immunology to the treatment of patients. Arising from a special symposium held to celebrate Professor A. Barry Kay's 20th anniversary as Head of the Department of Allergy and Clinical Immunology at the National Heart and Lung Institute, London, the publication presents 18 review articles by an impressive cross section of experts in the field. Topics considered include Th1 and Th2 cells, the regultion of Th2 cytokine transcription, the role of T cells in the immunopathogenesis of asthma, and MHC-restricted IgE-independent T-cell-induced late-phase responses in human subjects. Further chapters focus on eosinophil adhesion and activation, the role of C-C chemokines in the recruitment of eosinophils, and the interactions between eosinophils and fibroblasts. T-cell recruitment and T-cell interactions in cutaneous basophil hypersensitivity and fibrotic lung disease are discussed, as is the molecular pathology of allergic disease. Finally, treatment approaches are considered in chapters on the molecular basis of corticosteroid actions in asthma, immunosuppression in asthma, and immunotherapy of allergic diseases.

Download or read book Regulation of Human Eosinophil Adhesion in Allergic Inflammation written by and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critical progress has been made in the identification and characterization of cells and mediators involved in allergic inflammation. Accumulating evidence supports the importance of cell adhesion molecule expression as an initiating process in tissue inflammation. Despite progress made to date, much is still unknown about the exact mechanisms responsible for this inflammatory response. Scientists have been working to understand the selective cell recruitment operating in allergic disease with the hope of discovering therapeutic intervention strategies that will prevent the accumulation of unwanted cells in inflamed airways. Research has been directed at developing various approaches to generate specific antagonists. Some approaches under study interrupt airway inflammation in its early stages during leukocyte-endothelial interactions. Other approaches inhibit cell recruitment at the endothelial wall. Many studies have been done, both in vivo and in vitro, and the advances that have been made suggest that these therapeutic interventions may be the keys to controlling and, possibly, curing asthma and allergic reactions.

Download or read book Adhesion Molecules written by Craig D. Wegner and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 1994-11-30 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The consequences of diseases involving the immune system such as AIDS, and chronic inflammatory diseases such as bronchial-asthma, rheumatoid arthritis and atherosclerosis, now account for a considerable economic burden to governments worldwide. In response there has been an enormous research effort investigating the basic mechanisms underlying such diseases, and a tremendous drive to identify novel therapeutic applications for their prevention and treatment. Though a plethora of immunological studies have been published in recent years, little has been written about the implications of such research for drugs development. As a consequence, this area has not gained the prominence of other fields such as molecular pharmacology or neuropharmacology, and a focul information source for the many pharmacologists interested in diseases of the immune system remains unpublished. The Handbook of Immunopharmacology series provides such a source through the commissioning of a comprehensive collection of volumes on all aspects of immunopharmacology. Editors have been sought after for each volume who are not only active in their respective areas of expertise, but who also have a distinctly pharmacological bias to their research. The series follows three main themes, each represented by volumes on individual component topics. The first covers each of the major cell types and classes of inflammatory mediators ("cells and mediators"). The second covers each of the major organ systems and the diseases involving the immune and inflammatory responses that can effect them ("systems"). The third covers different classes of drugs currently used to treat these diseases as well as those under development ("drugs"). This volume provides a comprehensive overview of the adhsion molecules, processes and concepts that govern both inflammatory and infectious diseases, and also deals in detail with the specific in vivo pathways involved. The first chapter introduces some of the molecules that mediate leukocyte adhesion and ranges from their discovery using monoclonal antibodies and a congenital adhesion deficiency, to their antagonism in preliminary clinical trials as novel therapeutics. An in-depth analysis of the structure, distribution and function of the cell surface glycoproteins that regulates lymphocyte (specific immune response), granulocyte (acute inflammatory response) and metastatic cell (malignant processes) adhesions respectively is provided by the next three chapters. Chapters 5 and 7 detail the molecular structure, intracellular pathways, specificty of carbohydrate interactions, and signalling of the molecules that regulate leukocyte-leukocyte and leukocyte-mesenchymal cell interactions. There follows an exploration into the contributions of specific molecules in inflammatory diseases in various organs from chapters 8-11. The concluding part is unique to this volume by reviewing the comparable, and in some cases same, cell surface molecules that mediate virus, bacteria and parasite interactions with host cells. The research is far from complete, but Adhesion Molecules is extremely comprehensive and will be a valuable resource for many a year to come.
