Rapid advances continue to be made in all areas of immunology, not
least the biology of the immunoglobulins. This knowledge has
resulted in a better understanding of antibody responses and helped
to clarify pathogenic mechanisms in many diseases, particularly
autoimmune and allergic diseases, as well as expand our
comprehension of antibody deficiency diseases and mechanisms in
therapeutic immunization. In addition, the recognition that diverse
disease states may result in abnormalities of the amount of
immunoglobulins in body fluids has resulted in the use of
immunoglobulin assays for disease diagnosis and management. The aim
of this book has been to condense both the established and recent
aspects of this knowledge, particularly that pertaining to clinical
immunology. The contributions of different authors hopefully
provide a comprehensive review of their particular field of
interest as well as a discussion of how this information can be
applied to clinical medicine. Immunological terms and concepts have
been explained where appropriate so that the book can be read by
those with only a basic knowledge of immunology. In producing a
book on this one area of immunology some duplication of information
has been accepted so that topics can be considered in different
contexts. I hope the book will be of value to those in training or
already pursuing a career in clinical or laboratory medicine by
providing a basic and short text on immunoglobulins. M.A.H.F.
