This lecture note explains cells and tissues of the immune system,
lymphocyte development, the structure and function of antigen receptors, the
cell biology of antigen processing and presentation, including molecular
structure and assembly of MHC molecules, the biology of cytokines,
leukocyte-endothelial interactions, and the pathogenesis of immunologically
mediated diseases.
Allergic diseases, are a
number of conditions caused by hypersensitivity of the immune system to
something in the environment that usually causes little problem in most people.
The chapters included in the book Allergic diseases - New Insights addressed a
variety of important topics related to distinct aspects related to allergy. The
contribution of outstanding expert authors from many countries provided update
reviews on basic, clinical and treatment aspects and put in evidence further
research regarding the knowledge of immune system responses and key points of
allergic inflammatory reactions.
The course note will introduce graduate
students in the life sciences to the intricate ins and outs of the immune
system, innate and adaptive immunity and immune tolerance.
