Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book highlights studies on the development of the mucosal immune system in the human fetus, the factors important in the development of the various compartments of this system, and the mechanisms by which the human neonate protects itself against gut allergy and infection. Other topics include the development of the gut immune system in rodents and other veterinary species in which important areas such as the intestinal uptake of the maternal immunoglobulins have been characterized, as well as immunocompetence of the human fetus. The book provides essential reference material for immunologists, pediatricians, and other researchers interested in the features unique to the development of the gut immune system in utero and post-natally in different species.

Book excerpt: The second edition of Avian Immunology provides an up-to-date overview of the current knowledge of avian immunology. From the ontogeny of the avian immune system to practical application in vaccinology, the book encompasses all aspects of innate and adaptive immunity in chickens. In addition, chapters are devoted to the immunology of other commercially important species such as turkeys and ducks, and to ecoimmunology summarizing the knowledge of immune responses in free-living birds often in relation to reproductive success. The book contains a detailed description of the avian innate immune system, encompassing the mucosal, enteric, respiratory and reproductive systems. The diseases and disorders it covers include immunodepressive diseases and immune evasion, autoimmune diseases, and tumors of the immune system. Practical aspects of vaccination are examined as well. Extensive appendices summarize resources for scientists including cell lines, inbred chicken lines, cytokines, chemokines, and monoclonal antibodies. The world-wide importance of poultry protein for the human diet, as well as the threat of avian influenza pandemics like H5N1 and heavy reliance on vaccination to protect commercial flocks makes this book a vital resource. This book provides crucial information not only for poultry health professionals and avian biologists, but also for comparative and veterinary immunologists, graduate students and veterinary students with an interest in avian immunology. With contributions from 33 of the foremost international experts in the field, this book provides the most up-to-date review of avian immunology so far Contains a detailed description of the avian innate immune system reviewing constitutive barriers, chemical and cellular responses; it includes a comprehensive review of avian Toll-like receptors Contains a wide-ranging review of the "ecoimmunology" of free-living avian species, as applied to studies of population dynamics, and reviews methods and resources available for carrying out such research

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The presence of potential immunologically competent cells in the various tissues of embryonic, newborn and adult mice was demonstrated by means of a modified 'graft-vs-host' method and by the injection of chromosomally marked cells into irradiated recipients. The results indicate that lymphoid stem cells which have the potential to participate in cell-bound immune reactions appear in the placenta and liver by the 9th or 10th day of gestation. Throughout pregnancy they are found in the liver. During the 11th to 14th days of gestation these stem cells are present in the upper trunk or in the thymus. On about the 15th day they appear in the lung and toward the end of the pregnancy in the fetal bone marrow and spleen. There was little or no evidence of the presence of lymphoid precursors capable of maturation to cells which mediate cell-bound immune responses in the gut prior to birth. Following parturition lymphoid stem cells were present in the liver, Peyer's patches, lung, bone marrow, lymph nodes, spleen, blood and thymus. However, by six weeks after birth the bone marrow appeared to be the major or sole source of these cells. Certain of the data suggest that immunoglobulin producing cells (as opposed to those which mediate cell-bound immunity) may arise in the yolk sac on the 9th or 10th day of gestation. Further, these immunoglobulin producing cells may reside in the gut as a relatively pure cell population after the 16th day of gestation. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aspects of Developmental and Comparative Immunology contains the proceedings of the 1st Congress of Developmental and Comparative Immunology, held from July 27 to August 1, 1980 in Aberdeen, Scotland. The papers explore various aspects of developmental and comparative immunology and cover topics ranging from the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and membrane immunoglobulins to idiotypes and diversity, comparative ontogeny, and evolution of lymphoid organ function. Comprised of 105 chapters, this volume begins with an overview of how the host immune system utilizes polymorphic MHC antigens as the principal tool for pseudo-self versus true self distinction. The reader is then introduced to the immunology of earthworms, membrane immunoglobulins, idiotypes, and diversity. Subsequent chapters focus on the evolution of lymphoid organs in vertebrates; differentiation clocks in comparative immunology of mammals and birds; immunorecognition in invertebrates such as insects and gastropods; and the phylogeny of leucocytes in vertebrates and invertebrates. The remaining sections deal with stem cells, immune responses of gut-associated lymphoepithelial tissue, and the ontogeny of resistance to infection as well as the ontogeny of killer cells. Finally, the immunology of fish, amphibians, reptiles, chickens, and mammals is examined. This monograph will be of interest to immunobiologists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Lymphocyte Development" presents an extremely up-to-date account of molecular processes involved in the development of lymphocytes. This well written book is based on a graduate course taught by the author. Topics include the selection processes involved in lymphocyte maturation, immune receptor gene rearrangement, signaling pathways involved in cell cycle progression and apoptosis, and the transcriptional regulation of lymphoid ontogeny. The book also covers T cell development and differentiation of helper and cytotoxic T cells as well as the development of Natural Killer lymphocytes. The book finishes with an account of the molecular basis of immunodeficiency syndromes. It will interest researchers in immunology and it will be useful as a supplementary text for a graduate level immunology course.
