The Symposia in Immunology were organized to bring important new information on the expanding field of immunology to practicing physicians interested in the field.
It has been almost 20 years since the discovery by Kohler and Milstein of the technology to produce monoclonal antibodies (MAbs), a discovery that promised revolutionary changes in research, clinical diagnosis and human therapy.
This volume of Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology was planned in parallel with an EM BO workshop on cell-cell Interactions in Leukocyte Homing and Differentiation held at the Basel Institute for Immunology in November 1992, and many of the workshop speakers have contributed to it.
The Symposia in Immunology were organized to bring important new information in the expanding field of immunology to practicing physicians interested in the field.
Understanding neutralization is particularly relevant to an appreciation of the interaction between a virus and its antibody-synthesizing host since it is likely that viruses and the antibody system have evolved in response to reciprocally imposed selective pressures.
With this book we* want to address young graduate students, clini- cians involved in transplantation, and technicians in transplantation immunology laboratories.
Although upstaged by the tragic appearance of the human immunodeficiency virus, herpes simplex viruses (HSV) types 1 and 2 continue to be major human pathogens against which we lack acceptable vaccines or other means of immunological control.
Advances in Controlled Clinical Inhalation Studiesrepresents scientific work presented at the 3rdInternational Inhalation Symposium held 1991 in Hannover,FRG.
Advances in the understanding of the pathogenetic mechanismsinvolved in uveitis and uveoretinitis led to theintroduction of various new therapeuticmodalities for thesediseases, thus raising the need for a comprehensive andreproducible standard scoring system.
As a result of the molecular genetic analysis of development similar mechanisms for the regulation of gene expression are found in a wide range of organisms.
Immunology is largely a science of observation and experimentation, and these approaches have lead to great increases in our knowledge of the genes, molecules and cells of the immune system.
Although prostaglandin El (PGE ) has been clinically available for a long 1 time, only in recent years has its effectiveness in peripheral arterial occlusive disease been confirmed in controlled studies.
Recent experimental and clinical progress in the evaluation of cytokines in treatment concepts for cancer patients is the central theme of this book in the ESO Monographs series.
Ökosystem Darm II setzt den interdisziplinären Dialog fort, der mit dem vor einem Jahr erschienenen Band "Ökosystem Darm: Morphologie, Mikrobiologie, Immunologie - Klinik und Therapie akuter und chronischer entzündlicher Darmerkrankungen" begonnen wurde.
Many advances have occurred in the last 5 years especiallyin understanding genetic susceptibility factors, the role ofimmune response in chronic arthritis and the relationshipbetween cellular processes that underlie inflammation andtissue damage.
The prevention and control of infectious diseases represents, even today, an important public health problem for responsible national and international authorities.
Our current understanding of a/~ T cell receptor (TCR) ex- pressing T cells advanced from function and specificity to the molecular organization ofthe TCR.
This book is dedicated to the memory of Walter Brendel, late Professor of Experimental Surgery and Chairman of the Institute for Surgical Research at the University of Munich, Germany.
The eighth workshop in this series on Mechanisms in B-Cell Neoplasia 1990 was held in Wilson Hall at the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland on March 28-30.
Together with the two previous volumes of the Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology on histamine and antihistamines the present publication yields a picture of a still rapidly developing field of research.
The purpose of this volume is to highlight some current areas of poxvirus research which are likely to be particularly fruitful in the upcoming few years.
