Download or read book Immunology written by M. A. Hayat and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immunology, Volume 1: Immunotoxicology, Immunopathology, and Immunotherapy discusses the investment of time, effort and finance that go into making progress in preventing and/or curing serious diseases by using standard treatments (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery, and hormone therapy). The use of these treatments is accompanied by unavoidable, devastating side effects. At the cost of being repetitious, it has to be emphasized that an improved understanding of the immune system, avoidance of unhealthy habits (e.g., smoking, intake of alcohol, perpetual stress, and lack of exercise) and early detection (using biomarkers) are the only three friends we have to at least delay the onset of serious diseases. Presents the most advanced information regarding the role of autophagy and immunity Introduces new, more effective therapeutic strategies in the development of targeted drugs and programmed cell death Edited work with chapters authored by leaders from around the globe – the broadest, most expert coverage available
Download or read book Immunopathology written by and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2020-07-23 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immunopathology, Volume 107 in the Advances in Virus Research series, highlights new advances in the field, with this new volume presenting interesting chapters. Each chapter is written by an international board of authors. Viral Immunopathology will cover how the immune system, innate or adaptive, is often at the root of viral pathogenesis. This is true in diverse host systems including vertebrates, plants and insects. This volume will present the latest findings in this interesting and important area of research, and will include human, plant, fish, and insect viruses. Different kingdoms have evolved very diverse immune responses to virus infection but the common theme – namely, that effects of viruses on host immune systems can condition the induction of viral disease – will unify this concept across kingdoms. - The immune system is often responsible for virus pathology - Plants, animals and insects all mount immune responses to virus infection that can increase pathology - Both innate and adaptive immune responses can result in immunopathology

Download or read book Volume 4 Immunopathology written by Noel Rose and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive treatise on the reticuloendothelial system is a project jointly shared by individual members of the Reticuloendothelial (RE) Society and bio medical scientists in general who are interested in the intricate system of cells and molecular moieties derived from these cells which constitute the RES. It may now be more fashionable in some quarters to consider these cells as part of what is called the mononuclear phagocytic system or the lymphoreticular system. Nevertheless, because of historical developments and current interest in the subject by investigators from many diverse areas, it seems advantageous to present in one comprehensive treatise current information and knowledge con cerning basic aspects of the RES, such as morphology, biochemistry, phylogeny and ontogeny, physiology, and pharmacology as well as clinical areas including immunopathology, cancer, infectious diseases, allergy, and hypersensitivity. It is anticipated that by presenting information concerning these apparently heterogeneous topics under the unifying umbrella of the RES attention will be focused on the similarities as well as interactions among the cell types constitut ing the RES from the viewpoint of various disciplines. The treatise editors and their editorial board, consisting predominantly of the editors of individual vol umes, are extremely grateful for the enthusiastic cooperation and enormous task undertaken by members of the biomedical community in general and especially by members of the American as well as European and Japanese Reticuloendothe lial Societies.

Book excerpt: This practical laboratory manual provides an essential source of reference, information and guidance for all laboratory and clinical immunologists. It fully describes the methods used in diagnostic immunopathology, and discusses the interpretation and value of the parameters measured. It also answers important practical questions: which parameters are useful in arriving at a diagnosis; which are useful for monitoring the severity of a disease; what level of precision is achievable, and what level is useful; how do we measure accuracy, and how do we achieve inter-laboratory consistency? Each chapter has a brief introduction which provides some general comments on the procedures involved. The methods section contains detailed descriptions with helpful notes on the advantages and disadvantages of different methods and potential pitfalls. Finally, each chapter concludes with a section on clinical applications, which discusses the interpretation, value and limitations of the information obtained, and asks what alternative interpretations should be considered, and what additional information is called for.
