In insect and other arthropod immune systems, discrimination
between self and nonself tissues is accomplished through the
combined actions of two immunocytes and several humoral factors.
Immunology of Insects and Other Arthropods presents a comprehensive
look at this and other important topics in arthropod immunology.
Issues discussed include insect immunocytes and other hemocytes,
including computer image analysis of immunocyte serial sections;
the two basic cellular immune reactions (phagocytosis and
encapsulation), including the molecular basis and roles of gap
junctions in encapsulation; how encapsulation is affected by
polydnavirus and encapsulation-promoting factors; why insect cells
are immune to HIV; humoral factors; and antibacterial factors in
Lepidoptera, Diptera, and other insect orders. Other topics include
hemolymph proteins interacting with mammalian complement cascade;
adaptive humoral response in the American cockroach; antigenic
stimulation of hemaglutinin production in insects; and the
applications of the Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) in detecting
endotoxins in pharmaceuticals, medical devices, clinical diagnosis,
and hygienic control. This book represents an important reference
source for hematologists, pathologists, immunologists, AIDS
researchers, comparative immunologists, and pharmaceutical
companies.
