Cancer Immunology and Immunotherapy
ISBN: 9783642267888 / Angielski / Miękka / 306 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The interplay between tumors and their immunologic microenvironment is complex, difficult to decipher, but its understanding is of seminal importance for the development of novel prognostic markers and therapeutic strategies. The present review discusses tumor-immune interactions in several human cancers that illustrate various aspects of this complexity and proposes an integrated scheme of the impact of local immune reactions on clinical outcome. Current active immunotherapy trials have shown durable tumor regressions in a fraction of patients. However, clinical efficacy of current vaccines...

ISBN: 9781461374329 / Angielski / Miękka / 826 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Coronaviruses and arteriviruses have emerged as major virus families relevant in ani mal and human health. The order Nidovirales, which includes the Coronaviridae and Ar teriviridae, was recognized by the International Committee for the Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) in 1996 based on the striking features common to the two virus families. In accord ance with this decision, the organizers of the coronavirus meeting, held every three years since 1980, invited colleagues working with both virus families to attend the VIIth Interna tional Symposium on Coronaviruses and Arteriviruses, held in Segovia,...

Immune Regulation
ISBN: 9781461293903 / Angielski / Miękka / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Leukocyte culture conferences have a long pedigree. This volume records some of the scientific highlights of the 16th such annual con ference, and is a witness to the continuing evolution and popularity of leukocyte culture and of immunology. There is strong evidence of the widening horizons of immunology, both technically, with the obviously major impact of molecular biology into our understanding of cellular processes, and also conceptually. Traditionally, the 'proceedings' of these conferences have been published. But have the books produced really recorded the major part of the...

International Symposium: Retroviruses and Human Pathology
ISBN: 9781461293965 / Angielski / Miękka / 557 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For decades retroviruses have been riding the crest of a wave of experimental research directed toward the identification of an infectious agent of human neoplastic diseases. In the early 1970s, several scientists successfully demonstrated the presence of retroviruses in numerous animal species and proved their etiological role in some related diseases. Corresponding findings in humans were somewhat discouraging. Although financial support for this line. of research declined, a few dedicated retrovirologists survived and continued to collect more biological information and technological...

This topic was of common concern to all centres practising renal transplan- tion. The terms of reference of the study were: To estimate the number of patients who are virtually "untransplantable" because of high sensitization in each European country. To study the nature of immunization in terms of the...

Activators and Inhibitors of Complement
ISBN: 9789401052245 / Angielski / Miękka / 239 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The complement system is a group of proteins which plays a major role in the processing and removal of microorganisms and tissue breakdown products from the circulation and extracellular spaces. The system is activated by a wide range of targets, and activation leads to the production of opsonins, chemotaxis of granulocytes, cell lysis and other biological activities. Inappropriate overactivation of the system contributes to inflammatory tissue damage in the host, while inadequate activation leads to accumulation of immune complexes and other debris in the circulation, and susceptibility to...

The Complement System: Novel Roles in Health and Disease
ISBN: 9781475779288 / Angielski / Miękka / 565 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. As a phylogenetically old system complement is now regarded as a part of innate immunity. But it is much more than that. It bridges innate and adapted immunity, participates not only in host defense but also in many essential physiological processes, old and new diseases and adverse conditions. Indeed, complement became a term that almost defies categorization. What was for a long time a subject for a limited number of specialists has now moved into the mainstream of experimental and clinical immunology. In 1973 I visited the Basel Institute of Immunology and met its director, the eminent...
