Introduction to Molecular Immunology
diverse, may prove too technical and fragmentary for the general reader. They are perhaps intended more for the occupational health specialist who desires documentation of recent advances in the field. Occupational Lung Disease, in summary, proves to be an illuminating text with wide-ranging applicability. Those with a medical training should find interesting discussion of the mechanisms and ce...
متن کاملIntroduction to immunology and autoimmunity.
Autoimmune disease occurs when the immune system attacks self-molecules as a result of a breakdown of immunologic tolerance to autoreactive immune cells. Many autoimmune disorders have been strongly associated with genetic, infectious, and/or environmental predisposing factors. Comprising multiple disorders and symptoms ranging from organ-specific to systemic, autoimmune diseases include insuli...
متن کاملAn introduction to immunology and immunopathology
In basic terms, the immune system has two lines of defense: innate immunity and adaptive immunity. Innate immunity is the first immunological, non-specific (antigen-independent) mechanism for fighting against an intruding pathogen. It is a rapid immune response, occurring within minutes or hours after aggression, that has no immunologic memory. Adaptive immunity, on the other hand, is antigen-d...
متن کاملIntroduction. Ecological immunology.
An organism's fitness is critically reliant on its immune system to provide protection against parasites and pathogens. The structure of even simple immune systems is surprisingly complex and clearly will have been moulded by the organism's ecology. The aim of this review and the theme issue is to examine the role of different ecological factors on the evolution of immunity. Here, we will provi...
متن کاملTumor immunology.
Malignant tumors express antigens that may stimulate and serve as targets for antitumor immunity. Virally induced tumors usually contain integrated proviral genomes in theircellulargenomes and often express viral genome-encoded proteins that may stimulate specific host immune responses. Antigens unique to individual tumors that stimulate specific rejection of transplanted tumors have been demon...
