This comprehensive and definitive work succeeds and expands on the
highly successful HLA and Disease published in 1994. This new
edition has been updated, redesigned and reorganised into three
sections making it an invaluable reference.
The introductory section summarises current knowledge on the
structure, function, genetics and evolution of the HLA system. It
clarifies its complex and ever changing nomenclature and discusses
the mechanisms underlying disease associations with HLA alleles.
The second section deals with the importance of HLA in the context
of different clinical specialities. Individual chapters describe
the association between HLA polymorphism and each disease. The
final section features chapters on current laboratory practice in
histocompatibility and tissue typing.
HLA in Health and Disease is essential reading for basic and
clinical researchers working in immunology and immunogenetics,
transplantation medicine and autoimmunity. It will also be of
interest to anyone in the fields of rheumatology, diabetology,
nephrology, allergy, dermatology, neurology, endocrinology, cancer
biology, respiratory medicine, haematology, molecular biology and
biochemistry.
