Heat Shock Proteins: Potent Mediators of Inflammation and Immunity currently provides the most up-to-date review on new mechanisms and provides exciting insights into how heat shock proteins modulates the hosts immune response.
The existence of a unique kind of immune cell - the killer lymphocyt- which destroys other cells in a highly specific manner, has fascinated immunologists for almost half a century.
This book is an excellent, up-to-date reference on a relatively young area of research in which virology, cellular biology and molecular pathogenesis govern the principles of coinvestigation.
'In an era of heightened awareness of our immune system, the threat of pandemics, the rise of autoimmunity, and the revelatory new science that everything from heart disease to cancer, Alzheimer's to autism, and depression to diabetes is linked to disordered immune function and inflammation, The Immunotype Breakthrough is the most important guide available today to understand and optimise our immune function.
Immunity is as old as illness itself, yet historians have only just begun to take up the challenge of reconstructing the modern transformation of attempts to protect against disease.
