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 this book, the recent developments in immunology and the impact on the treatment of infections in critical care and in surgery are presented, also describing how cellular immunology influences clinical treatment.
The Symposia in Immunology were organized to bring important new information on the expanding field of immunology to practicing physicians interested in the field.
Aus den Besprechungen: "In einer Zeit, in der sich die wissenschaftliche Heilkunde häufig unqualifizierter, aber publikumswirksamer Pauschalverurteilungen erwehren muß, hat Klaus Dietrich Bock einen brillanten Beitrag zur Theorie der Medizin geleistet, der durch seine nüchterne Rationalität überzeugt.

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 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.
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.
Das Gesundheitsreformgesetz bildet einen Kulminationspunkt in den seit Jahren stattfindenden Auseinandersetzungen um die Kostendämpfung im Gesundheitswesen, und es wird noch heftig diskutiert.
Presented here is an account of industrial and general air pollution problems in view of air quality management, community and industrial health aspects, emission inventorying, emission and air quality measurement techniques, dispersion phenomena and control technologies.
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.
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.

Dieses Buch gibt eine aktuelle Übersicht über pathogenetische Grundlagen, Effekte und mögliche Nebenwirkungen der immunologisch wirksamen Therapie bei Multipler Sklerose.
Although retroviruses have long been associated with a variety of animal diseases, active research in the field of human retroviruses dates from the discovery of human immunodefici- ency virus (HIV) in association with acquired immunodefici- ency syndrome (AIDS).
Candida, which was discovered more than a century ago as a causative organism of oral thrush, is now thought to potentially infect almost every tissue of the human body.
Although immunologists know rather a lot about the manif- estation of immunological memory, an understanding of the mechanism of memory at cellular and biochemical levels eludes us.
