Introduction to Immunology, an by: C. Vaman Rao publisher: Alpha Science International, Ltd, published: 2002-03-30 ISBN: 1842650351
Product Description
This work discusses concepts and ideas regarding innate and acquired immunity, imucosal immune systems, T-cell and B-cell activation, maturation and development, role of T-cell receptor and class I MHC, kidney damage in auto-immune disease, and factors involved in rheumatoid arthritis. Other topics covered include the mechanisms involved in auto-immune disease based on clinical findings, immune response to diseases, and strategies in production of new vaccines against pathogens. Recently proposed concepts on immune tolerance, T-cell energy, NK-cell tolerance, HLA delivered peptides for immunosuppression and the newly discovered oncogens, tumour, antigens, and immune therapy strategy for tumours are also included.

Immunology by: C. V. Rao publisher: Alpha Science Intl Ltd, published: 2006-03-15 ISBN: 1842652532 sales rank: 3775849
Product Description
Earlier published as An Introduction to Immunology, this second edition with a shorter title has been enlarged to deal with recent concepts and ideas in immunology with respect to phylogeny and evolution of the immune system, origin of antigen binding receptors, complement pathway and MHC. The book also includes recent information on: · Role of CpG motifs, heat shock proteins, epithelial cells, Toll like receptors in innate immunity and role of dendritic cells, gd T cells and mucosal layer in acquired immunity. · Recent understanding of regulation of immunoglobulin gene, recombination mechanism, regulation of immune response, neural regulation, regulatory T-cells, CD8+memory cells. · Concepts on cross presentation of antigens, role of heat shock proteins in antigen presentation, pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis, genetics of asthma, mechanism of food allergy, role of T-cells in atopic and contact allergy. · Gives an insight into mechanism of immune tolerance to foetus, regulatory T-cells in transplantation, immune tolerance, gene therapy in transplantation, xenotransplantation. · Information on recent developments in genetic modulation of tumor antigens, anticancer vaccines, DNA fusion gene vaccine for cancer therapy. · Information on initiation of autoimmunity, role of CD4+ and regulatory CD4+ cells, interferon, genetics, and chemokines in autoimmunity, chemotherapy and antigen based therapy for autoimmunity. · New strategies to counter HIV and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, · Exercises and summary at the end of each chapter

Immunology a Laboratory Manual by: Richard L. Myers publisher: William C. Brown, published: 1989-06 ISBN: 0697053784 sales rank: 3641688 Product Description
As enrollments in immunology courses continue to expand, so do the calls for up-to-date, professional lab manuals. Immunology: A Laboratory Manual brings together a variety of methods that provide an experimental foundation for the study of immunology. Its wide range of experiments don't require sophisticated equipment or materials and can be tied easily to most immunology texts.
