Consisting of a full-color, heavily illustrated textbook plus an online service with animations, illustrations, interactive study questions and critical thinking aids, this is the perfect solution not only for faculty seeking to fully present this complex scientific discipline to students while focusing on its relation to real world clinical problem-solving but also for members of the medical professions. It is the ideal reference for residents and practitioners preparing for certification and board examinations. The structure, content and pedagogy allow users to retain more knowledge in less time than with traditional methods. Immunology has seen extraordinary developments in both scope and complexity during the last 40 years. World-renowned author, researcher and educator Joseph A. Bellanti, MD, has synthesized the most current research findings with clinical applications through an innovative new approach to teaching. This text and online service presents a unified approach by integrating principles with case studies to teach clinical realities. Each new book purchased includes a password for a two year individual subscription to the online service at www.immunologycenter.org. In the Preface of the book, Dr. Bellanti explains: "What was once a discipline defined in descriptive terms is now becoming better understood at the genomic and molecular levels." Because of this and the rapid development of treatment options, it is critical for students, residents and practitioners to fully understand the clinical implications of immunologic principles and mechanisms.

Download or read book Immunological Methods written by Ivan Lefkovits and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2014-05-12 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immunological Methods, Volume IV provides information pertinent to the methods in immunological research. This book focuses on cells, clones, and cell lines, as well as on their components and secreted products. Organized into 21 chapters, this volume begins with an overview of hybridoma methodology as the most celebrated immunological method. This text then discusses cell fusion, hybridoma technology, and everything related to monoclonal antibodies. Other chapters consider another molecular biology method, which describes the procedure required for establishing a partitioned cDNA-library. This book provides as well a comprehensive analysis of mRNA populations in which every messenger species appears as a distinct element, and so provides accurate answers to questions concerning genetic complexity. The final chapter provides an example of how transgenic mice can be used to study the development of T cell repertoires. This book is a valuable resource for cell biologists, scientists, immunologists, and research workers.
Download or read book Contemporary Topics in Molecular Immunology written by F. P. Inman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-22 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many unanswered questions regarding the molecular nature of antibodies, components of complement, and other substances which participate in the immune response. The list of substances which need to be analyzed chemically is increasing. Plasma cell products, of course, have long been of great interest because the most prevalent ones are immunoglobulins. Other cell types, however, are the source of the broad spectrum of additional substances which classically fall into the sanctum of the molecular immunologist. It is these substances, and especially those more recently discovered, which are responsible for the broadening investigative interests of immunologists. In this volume we have provided you with descriptions of research being done with immunoglobulins and with complement. Additionally, we have in cluded two reports that deal with molecules which are among the more recent acquisitions of the molecular immunologist. The components of complement are known to react in a cascading manner which results in the lysis of cellular antigens. The first step in the classical pathway requires the activation of CI by the antibody-antigen aggregates. This volume of Contemporary Topics in Molecular Immunology begins with the report of Reid and Porter which describes their investigation of the mechanism of activation of C I. Their descriptions of C I q and of the reaction of C I with immunoglobulins are especially intriguing. It is clearly apparent from their report that activation of the components of complement is a complex phenome non.

Book excerpt: General Immunology provides a general overview of the immune system. It presents topics in immunology from all living groups, treating cells, tissues, organs, and organismal levels of biological organization. The book contains 23 chapters organized into eight sections. Section I serves as an introduction to immunology—a science, a sketch of its history, some of its more recent contributors, something about gathering facts, immunology journals, and the entire biomedical enterprise of which immunology is just a part. Section II is devoted to antigens while Section III examines the immune system in chordates and the ontogeny of the immune system. Section IV on cells of the immune system covers monocytes, macrophages, the three granulocytic types, and mast cells. Section V deals with phagocytosis and the interaction of lymphocytes. Section VI is devoted to antigens in relation to antibody synthesis, antigen-antibody interactions, immunologlobulin structure, and immunologlobulin assembly. Section VII on organs of the immune system examines bone marrow, thymus, spleen, lymph nodes, and lymphoid aggregations. Section VIII discusses the evolution of the immune system. This text was written for advanced undergraduates. However, its comprehensiveness makes it useful to immunologists and biologists at all levels as well as medical students and clinicians.

This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents a collection of reviews derived from work presented at the Aegean Conference: “4th Crossroads between innate and adaptive immunity”. This meeting was the fourth in a series, and assembled a team of scientists working on mechanisms by which the innate immune system of the host senses pathogens, the cellular and signaling networks that orchestrate the innate response and antigen presentation and adaptive immunity. The importance of the crosstalk between innate immunity and the adaptive immune response has only recently started to be appreciated. Although it is well recognized that dendritic cells, NK cells, NK-T cells and T cells are all critical for the host response to pathogens, the respective fields that study the biology of these immune cells tend to exist in parallel worlds with minimum exchange of information and ideas. This fragmentation hinders the integration of these fields towards a unified theory of host response. The Aegean Conference “Crossroads between Innate and Adaptive Immunity” brought together leading international scientists and experts to address critical areas of Innate and Adaptive immunity something necessary for the development of more efficient scientific exchange and crosspollination between these fields. This conference attracted scientists from all over the world to discuss their latest findings on the various aspects of Innate and Adaptive immunity. The conference had limited participation and a scientific and social program that maximized scientific interchange through lecture presentations, poster sessions and informal discussions.
