This book sheds new light on "inducible" lymphoid organs (ILOs):
antigen presentation sites that are generated de novo in peripheral
tissues under various pathogenic conditions. Accomplished
immunologists demonstrate that the physiological role of these ILOs
is completely different from that of central lymphoid organs, i.e.,
the lymph nodes or spleen. In addition to the central organs, the
ILOs are considered essential structures for the efficient
elicitation of adaptive immune responses in lesions. The respective
chapters highlight examples from multiple sites, e.g. the skin,
lung, intestinal tract, genital tract, the synovial membrane of the
joints and artificial lymph nodes. Accordingly, readers will learn
that ILO structure and function can vary substantially, depending
on the context. Presenting the results of the latest immunological
research, the book offers a fascinating and insightful read for
both scientists and clinicians in the areas of infectious and
immune-associated diseases.
