Acute Phase Proteins covers all major aspects of acute phase
proteins (APP) starting with molecular mechanisms regulating their
synthesis and ending with their functional significance. The book
features 36 chapters addressing such topics as acute phase response
and the APP; major APP and their structure and functions;
regulation of APP synthesis, the cytokines and hormones implicated
in these processes, and molecular mechanisms involved; signal
transduction of cytokines in hepatocytes and posttranscriptional
processes; and quantitative and qualitative evaluation of APP in
clinical practice. The book will be an important reference for
immunologists, molecular biologists, cellular biologists,
biochemists, and clinical chemists.

This important new book focuses on the involvement of cytokines in
specific areas of inflammatory diseases, such as granulomatous
responses, lung disease, hepatic dysfunction and the acute phase,
arthritis and accompanying bone remodeling, neurogenic
inflammation, and shock. The roles of GM-CSF, IL-6, IL-2, TGFb EGF,
and LIF are discussed, as well as the medical treatments that
affect cytokine activity. The results of approaches important to
the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, such as the search
for endogenous biological response modifiers that control cytokine
function or production, attempts to synthesize heterocyclic
compounds in the organic chemistry lab, and research regarding
second messenger pathways involved in IL-1 and TNF production are
examined. This book will provide anyone in cytokine research,
especially clinical investigators, pharmaceutical industry
researchers, and academic research scientists, with important
information on how cytokine research might be used.
Amusant und unterhaltsam schildert Karl Heinz Baumann Gedanken und
Empfindungen des aufgeweckten Mischlingshundes, dem die Menschen
manchmal wirklich ein Ratsel sind. Wieso sagen sie oft dasselbe, ob
er sie gegen einen bedrohlichen Hund verteidigen will oder eine
betorende Hundedame erblickt hat? "Bleib lieb, Kitt. Aus, Kitt "
Trotzdem sagt Kitt: "Dass ich mich bei meinen Herrschaften sehr,
sogar sehr, sehr wohlfuhle, bedarf aus meiner Sicht keiner
besonderen Erwahnung. Das ist nun einmal so Punktum "
