During the last 5 years, major advances have been made in our understanding of the pathogenesis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease and in the development of new potent antiviral agents.
A series of remarkable discoveries in the past three decades have led to the molecular and genetic characterization of the transmissible pathogen causing scrapie in animals and a quartet of human illnesses: kuru, Jakob-Creutzfeld disease, Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker disease, and fatal familial insomnia.
The title of this volume, Plant Biotechnology: Nell' Products and Applications, may look a little out of place among previous vol- umes of Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology that have focused mostly on issues related to human health and ani- mal biology, However, plant biology has always been of immense and has enjoyed an intimate relationship practical importance, with medicine and other biological sciences for centuries, In- creasing scientific specialization and the dramatic advances in the medical and chemical sciences during this century have left many persons with the impression that plant biology and plant bio- technology is important only in relation to the agricultural sci- ences, This is no longer true.
I am delighted to be able to write the foreword for this new book on Helicobacter pylori by three pioneers in the field, Vlf West- blom, Steven Czinn and John Nedrud.
Bacterial CpG-DNA sequences not only serve for genetic information but act as "e;danger"e; signal to alert immune cells such as macrophages and dendritic cells.

Since the first observations of viral interference with antigen presentation in the MHC class-I pathway, the field has advanced to a detailed analysis.
Japanese encephalitis and West Nile viruses are members of the Japanese encephalitis serological group of the genus Flavivirus and therefore closely related genetically and antigenically.
The environmental problems caused by petroleum-based plastic and plastic waste have led to an increasing demand for biobased and biodegradable plastics, such as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs).
This book provides a detailed account of the physico-chemical properties and biological functions of the outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) of different pathogenic and non-pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria.
One of the most promising new approaches for the prevention of HIV transmission, particularly for developing countries, involves topical, self-administered products known as microbicides.
During the late 1970's the application of hybridoma technology led to an explosion in the discovery and characterization of proteins expressed at the surface of hematopoietic cells.
Retroviruses arguably belong to the most fascinating of all viruses because of their unusual and highly efficient mode of replication involving reverse transcription and integration of the viral genome and a complex system of transcriptional and post- transcriptional regulatory mechanisms.
It is of critical importance to maintain an appropriate balance between proliferation and quiescence or differentiation through- out the lifespan of all animals.
For decades this virus system has served--and continues to do so--to pioneer investigations on the molecular biology, biochemistry and genetics of mammalian cell systems.
