Download or read book Leucocyte Typing V written by Stuart F. Schlossman and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1995 with total page 924 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the state of the art of monoclonal antibodies that react with molecules on the surface of human leucocytes, platelets, or enothelial cells, and will be a key source of information describing the present state of our knowledge of human leucocyte differentation antigens. The fifth International Workshop and Conference on Human Leucocyte Differentiation Antigens was held in Boston on November 3-7, 1993. Those present at the meeting represented the efforts of more than 500 laboratories worldwide who joined together over a two year period to analyze 1450 antibodies and characterize over 150 molecules. Blind panels for all monoclonal antibodies including every CD, every noncandidate for CD status and all monoclonals of undefined specificity were analyzed by flow cytometry. Other dedicated laboratories undertook serologic molecular, biochemical, histochemical characterization of the monoclonal antibodies and structures they defined. The results obtained in Boston are detailed in this two volume set. Special emphasis is given in the book to the description and characterization of 48 new CD clusters and subclusters and the redefinition of 14 previously defined established clusters.

Download or read book Leukocyte Typing II written by Ellis L. Reinherz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Second International Workshop on Human Leukocyte Differentia- tion Antigens was held in Boston, September 17-20, 1984. More than 350 people interested in leukocyte differentiation agreed to exchange reagents and participate in this joint venture. All in all, in excess of 400 antibodies directed against surface structures on T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, and myeloid-hematopoietic stem cells were characterized. Because of the enormous quantity of serologic, biochemical, and functional data, Leuko- cyte Typing II has been divided into three volumes. These books represent the written results of workshop participants. They should be helpful to both researchers and clinicians involved in scientific endeavors dealing with these broad fields of immunobiology. To those who delve into the various sections of the volumes, it will become evident that the work speaks for itself. I am deeply indebted to the section editors, Barton F. Haynes, Volume 1, Human T Lymphocytes, Lee M. Nadler, Volume 2, Human B Lympho- cytes, and Irwin D.Bernstein, Volume 3, Human Myeloid and Hemato- poietic Cells for their major contributions in planning, executing, and summarizing the workshop, as well as council members John Hansen, Alain Bernard, Laurence Boumsell, Walter Knapp, Andrew McMichael, Cesar Milstein, and Stuart F. Schlossman. I would also like to thank the National Institutes of Health, World Health Organization, and Interna- tional Union of Immunological Societies for making this meeting possible.

Leading experts in this field have contributed to this book which presents a state-of-the-art view on these enzymes, at a time when our understanding of their function is growing ever more rapidly and therapeutic options become imminent. The sections of the book focus on various topics: - Structure and function of dipeptidyl aminopeptidases, - DPP IV-like proteins, - Immune mechanisms and immune disorders, - Cancer and angiogenesis, - Diabetes and metabolism, - Therapeutic implications.

Download or read book Cell Adhesion and Communication Mediated by the CEA Family written by Clifford P Stanners and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considers the recent explosion of knowledge about the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) family, which resulted from the molecular cloning of family member genes in 1986. Results indicating CEA family members upregulated in cancer could have an instrumental role in malignant transformation and metastasis, while those that are downregulated could have tumor suppressive functions are considered. Reviews, recent results, hypotheses, and clinical applications regarding a gene family that, from its widespread changes in expression in tumors at many sites, should be regarded as a "major player" in human cancer are also discussed. The normal functions such as epithelial and hematopoietic adhesion and signalling molecules are explored, and the possibly unique role of this family in evolution is introduced. This volume will be of interest to researchers in the fields of intercellular adhesion, evolution, and molecular recognition, as well as clinicians interested in the recent knowledge regarding a tumor marker commonly utilised in the clinic, and companies wishing to exploit this cancer-related family for novel commercial applications in the biomedical sphere.
