The cells of the immune system generate a large variety of binding sites which differ in their binding specificities and can therefore react specifically with a large variety of ligands.
In the few years since the first edition of this book made its appearance, under- takings in the area of protein sequence determination have increased at an almost logarithmic pace.
This volume is the record and product of the Summer School on the Physics and Mathematics of the Nervous System, held at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste from August 21-31, 1973, and jointly organized by the Institute for Information Sciences, University of Tlibingen and by the Centre.
The First International Symposium on the Metabolic Interconversion of Enzymes was held in Santa Margherita Ligure, Italy, in May, 1970, under the direction of Professor G.
Soon after the discovery of insulin in 1922, it became clear that the use of this hormone in the treatment of diabetics is often accom- panied by allergy.
In this volume a distinguished group of internationallyrenowned clinicians and basic researchers discuss thepresent state of knowledge of the etiologyand pathogenesisof Dupuytren's contracture, a disease responsible for aconsiderable portion of disabilities within the workingpopulation allover the world.
The discipline of genetic epidemiology pertains to the vertical transmission of the susceptibility (predisposition) to a complex disease in a structured population.
Autoimmune diseases are common and often associated with considerable morbidity or - in diseases such as IDDM, myasthenia gravis and multiple sclerosis - mortality.
The Fourth International Workshop on "e;In Vitro Effects of Mineral Dusts on Cells"e; was held on September 20 - 23, 1988 in Auberge Estrimont, Orford, Quebec, Canada.
At the end of the initial meeting on Primary and Secondary Metabolism of Plant Cell Cultures at Schloss Rauischholzhausen, it was decided to convene similar events on a regular basis midway between the International Congress for Plant Tissue and Cell Cul- ture.
The synthetic chemistry of carbohydrates has advanced at a scarcely equalled rate in the last 25 years, due to the great interest of biologically active natural products coritaining sugar moieties.
Dieser Band in der Reihe "Naturwissenschaften Bibliothek" zeigt an einigen ausgesuchten Beispielen, vorgestellt im Rahmen des Studium Generale an der Universität Marburg, wie sich Irrtümer in der Wissenschaft ereignen können, welche - teilweise fruchtbaren - Auswirkungen sie haben können, und welche Konsequenzen sich aus der Fehlbarkeit der Wissen- schaftler ergeben sollten.
The study of the genetic regulation of immune response to natural multidetermi- nant immunogens was undertaken by the method of bidirectional selective breed- ing of High or Low antibody responder lines of mice.
