versus delayed hypersensitivity, Gell and coombs classification of
hypersensitive reactions, Type I hypersensitivity, Degranulation process and its
mechanism, Mediators of type I hypersensitivity, Clinical manifestations of type
I hypersensitivity, Regulation of type I hypersensitivity, Detection of type I

This book that
treats in an integrated way all factors affecting variation in infectious
disease. It is a superb teaching tool and a rich source of ideas for new and
experienced researchers. Topics covered includes: Vertebrate Immunity, Benefits
of Antigenic Variation, Molecular Processes, Generative Mechanisms,
Immunodominance within Hosts, Parasite Escape within Hosts, Population
Consequences, Immunological Variability of Hosts, Genetic Structure of Parasite
Populations, Experimental Evolution: Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus, Influenza,
CTL Escape.
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.
This note covers the following topics: Adaptve Defense Mechanisms,
The Adaptive Immune Response, Vaccination, Immunoglobulin Classes,
Immunoglobulin Diagnostics, Lymphatic System, T Cells And T Cell
Receptor, Inadequate Defense, Disease Caused By Immune Reactions, Immune
Complex Diseases, Damage By Cellular Immune Responses.
This book covers the following topics: Major
Issues in Understanding Asthma, Methodological Considerations in Evaluating
the Evidence, Patterns of Asthma Morbidity and Mortality, Pathophysiological
Basis of Asthma, Indoor Biologic Exposures, Indoor Chemical Exposures,
Exposure to Environmental Tobacco Smoke, Asthma and Nonresidential Indoor
Environments, Impact of Ventilation and Air Cleaning on Asthma.
