Download or read book Major Histocompatibility Complex written by M. Kasahara and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every biological system is the outcome of evolution and has a history all its own. This history dictates how the system works and why it has certain properties and not others. This is why we need to study not only the structure and function, but also the history of the system. This argument undoubtedly applies to the study of the immune system and also to the study of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). Since 1989, researchers of various scientific disciplines who share a deep inter est in MHC evolution have held a meeting every two years to discuss their latest research developments, exchange ideas, and foster friendship. Together with my colleagues Drs. Naoyuki Takahata and Yoko Satta, I organized the Sixth Interna tional Workshop on MHC Evolution in Hayama, Japan, May 25-29, 1999. This volume is the proceedings of that conference. It covers diverse topics pertinent to MHC evolution, including the origin of the adaptive immune system, the organi zation of the MHC in humans and other model vertebrates, MHC-parasite co evolution, and the nature and origin of MHC polymorphism. I hope that this book will be of interest not only for MHC researchers and immunologists, but also for other specialists who are interested in the evolution of biological systems in gen eral.

This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From molecules to populations and back In biology, the most vigorous organisms often ensue from a union of two disparate, pure lines. In science, too, laws of hybrid vigor seem to operate at the interface between two disciplines, an interface that often proves to be fertile ground for germinating concepts and new outlooks. The fringes of research into the major histocompatibility complex (Mhc) have provided such an interface several times in the past and the encounters have invigorated fields such as transplantation biology, cellular immunology, and immunogenetics. In the last few years, a new interface has been emerging between Mhc and evolutionary genetics, and particularly the branch of evolutionary genetics dealing with molecular evolution. Mhc research relies upon molecular evolutionary genetics, with its grand superstructure of mathematical formulations, to come to grips with the events leading to and maintaining the Mhc polymorphism. Without the armament of rigorous statistical procedures developed by evolutionary geneticists, the intricate relationships among Mhc genes cannot be resolved. It will undoubtedly be a molecular geneticist who is the final arbiter in the dispute concerning the nature of the selection pressure molding the Mhc genes. And it is doubtful whether the true function of Mhc can ever be comprehended without the vantage point afforded by the elucidation of its evolutionary history.
Download or read book Natural History of the Major Histocompatibility Complex written by Jan Klein and published by Wiley-Interscience. This book was released on 1986 with total page 820 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is a natural history of the major histocompatibility complex written for anyone who is working on the MHC but wants to step back and review the complex in its entirety; for anyone who wants to be introduced to the MHC; or for anyone who is just curious about this much talked-about chromosomal region. By natural history is meant an all encompassing treatment of the MHC, both human and mouse, in its entire range and its details - but presented in a way that anybody can understand without consulting a variety of other sources. Most of the details are summarized in the form of tables whereas the text concentrates on generalizations and discussions. Thus, the book will be of interest to immunologists and geneticists seeking an overview of the subject and to graduate students in these disciplines. It will also be of value to technicians working in HLA-typing laboratories.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Viral Pathogenesis: From Basics to Systems Biology, Third Edition, has been thoroughly updated to cover topical advances in the evolving field of viral pathogenesis, while also providing the requisite classic foundational information for which it is recognized. The book provides key coverage of the newfound ability to profile molecular events on a system-wide scale, which has led to a deeper understanding of virus-host interactions, host signaling and molecular-interaction networks, and the role of host genetics in determining disease outcome. In addition, the content has been augmented with short chapters on seminal breakthroughs and profiles of their progenitors, as well as short commentaries on important or controversial issues in the field. Thus, the reader will be given a view of virology research with perspectives on issues such as biomedical ethics, public health policy, and human health. In summary, the third edition will give the student a sense of the exciting new perspectives on viral pathogenesis that have been provided by recent developments in genomics, computation, modeling, and systems biology. Covers all aspects of viral infection, including viral entry, replication, and release, as well as innate and adaptive immunity and viral pathogenesis Provides a fresh perspective on the approaches used to understand how viruses cause disease Features molecular profiling techniques, whole genome sequencing, and innovative computational methods Highlights the use of contemporary approaches and the insights they provide to the field
Download or read book International Animal Research Regulations written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2012-06-26 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Animals are widely used in neuroscience research to explore biological mechanisms of nervous system function, to identify the genetic basis of disease states, and to provide models of human disorders and diseases for the development of new treatments. To ensure the humane care and use of animals, numerous laws, policies, and regulations are in place governing the use of animals in research, and certain animal regulations have implications specific to neuroscience research. To consider animal research regulations from a global perspective, the IOM Forum on Neuroscience and Nervous System Disorders, in collaboration with the National Research Council and the Institute for Laboratory Animal Research, held a workshop in Buckinghamshire, UK, July 26-27, 2011. The workshop brought together neuroscientists, legal scholars, administrators, and other key stakeholders to discuss current and emerging trends in animal regulations as they apply to the neurosciences. This document summarizes the workshop.
Download or read book The HLA System in Clinical Transplantation written by Bjarte G. Solheim and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With this book we· want to address young graduate students, clini cians involved in transplantation, and technicians in transplantation immunology laboratories. The volume should give a comprehensive but basic, up to date introduction to the structure, function, and clinical importance of the HLA system. We believe that there is a need for such a survey, and think that the present level of our knowledge is an optimal occasion for publication. A significant number of ques tions have now been resolved, and our knowledge has reached a level of sophistication that provides the basis for additional questions and answers. Although the emphasis of this book is on the role of HLA anti gens in clinical transplantation, their involvement in other clinical contexts is also discussed. The main focus is on the human MHC an tigenic system, but MHC systems in other species are described as they contribute to our understanding of the structural and functional characteristics of HLA antigens. Some important issues related to laboratory techniques are also covered. The contributors have a close affiliation to the field of transplan tation immunology. A majority have even been playing important roles in unraveling the HLA system and its functions. We believe this has contributed significantly to the quality and clinical and practical relevance of the book. As editors, we drew up the principal guidelines and took care that the chapters can be read as separate entities, although this invariably results in some overlapping.
Download or read book Transgenic Mice and Mutants in MHC Research written by Igor K. Egorov and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains papers presented at the international conference on "Transgenic Mice and Mutants in MHC Research", held in Bar Harbor, Maine, in June, 1989. The meeting brought together eighty researchers working in the field. While mouse H-2 mutants have been known for many years their studies continue to contribute a great deal to our understanding of structure/function relationships and evolution of MHC molecules. Recently a new direction of research has emerged on regulation, expression and function of MHC genes using transgenic animals carrying exogenous MHC genes from the same or other species or engineered MHC genes. With the introduction of transgenic mice more specific questions about the various functions of MHC genes can be answered as, for example, the role of soluble and membrane-bound MHC molecules in self tolerance and elimination of specific T cell clones, recognition of human MHC antigens by the mouse immune system, the role of individual human MHC genes in disease susceptibility. New approaches for evaluation of the role of MHC linked and unlinked genes in susceptibility of mice to malignant tumors and their metastases have been also reported. Our purpose has been to provide a forum for discussion of these new developments. Many questions remain to be answered but the necessary tools have become available. We thank the contributors and hope that the readers will benefit from this Pro ceedings. We wish to acknowledge the financial sponsorship for the meeting by The Pew Charitable Trust and Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
