Abstract

This concise text provides detailed guidance on antigen-presenting cells, a relatively new area which has until now been inadequately treated textually. The reader will find information on all aspects of antigen presentation, including coverage of thymic development of T cells, immunostimulation of resting T cells in secondary lymphoid tissue, and the effector stages of immune response. The latest research on the molecular pathways of antigen processing, and the ways in which MHC molecules bind to antigenic receptor cells to stimulate helper T cells is given careful, focused attention, while the role of antigen presentation in immune response is covered in-depth. This ideal guide for undergraduate and graduate students in biology and medicine is presented in any easy-to-read format, and includes many helpful diagrams and two-color illustrations.

Abstract

Antigen presentation is central to the immune response, and is instrumental in ensuring that the response mounted is that best suited to the eradication of the particular microbe faced. In this volume, experts in the field provide state-of-the-art descriptions of the antigen presentation pathways. How do viruses disrupt these critical pathways, and to what effect? Do all tissues present antigen in the same way? If not, why? What are the consequences of dysfunctional antigen presentation, seen in certain genetic disorders? This book considers not only the molecular details, but also their relevance to the whole organism.
