The subject matter of this volume was the basis for a confer ence
held in Philadelphia in June, 1981, and is an important one in the
contemporary area of how the host interacts with micro organisms.
In conception, it grew out of a graduate course entitled, "The
Infectious Process," which has been taught in the Department of
Microbiology and Immunology at Temple University School of Medicine
during the past twelve years. This course has explored the broad
areas of mechanisms of microbial pathogenesis and host resistance
by in-depth consideration of selected models of experimental
infection and immunity, as well as the clinical literature. It is
noteworthy that there is no adequate text for this material, as the
subject matter naturally crosses a wide spectrum of traditional
disciplinary lines, encompassing topics as diverse as the
mechanisms of action of bacterial toxins, the role of complement
and antibody in phagocytosis, and the importance of cross-reacting
bacterial polysaccharide antigens in vaccine development. A major
portion of the course has always considered "cellular immunity" as
it applies to host defenses to intracellular pathogens. It is in
this area that the necessity for amalgamation of information from
different disciplines is most evident, for one must be intimately
concerned with the interactions between the microbe and the
phagocyte, both before and after specific immune recognition."
