Increasing interest in the immunology of mucosal surfaces is
obvious from the number of publications in scientific journals and
from the frequency of national and international symposia devoted
to this subject. Particularly encouraging are the large numbers of
young investigators who have chosen to work in this area of
theoretical immunology with profound practical implications. The
two volumes represented here are the result of an International
Congress Of Mucosal Immunology held at the Niagara Falls Convention
Center and the Niagara Falls Hilton on June 29 - July 3, 1986. This
satellite meeting of the International Congress of Immunology
placed emphasis on all aspects of the Mucosal Immune System. This
included the regulation of differentiation of mucosal lymphocytes,
mucosa-associated lymphoreticular tissue and lymphocyte homing, the
immunology of mucosa associated tissues and glands, effector
functions in mucosal immunity, and the effects of environmental
antigens on the immune response, all of which are included in
Volume I. The second volume has emphasized studies of the immune
response and effector functions, IgA biosynthesis and transport,
IgA proteases and effector functions, developmental aspects and
immunodeficiency, the immunopathology of IgA and mucosal
immunoprophylaxis. A total of 218 papers are included in these two
volumes and a comparison to past meetings held at four to five year
intervals indicates the explosive growth of mucosal immunology."
Considerable advances have been made in science in order to
understand the varied mixture of bioactive components in human
milk. The 94th Nestle Nutrition Institute Workshop was designed to
provide a comprehensive overview of the latest findings in human
milk research and its potential to modulate mucosal immunity, the
microbiome, and its impact on the neonate. The publication provides
a balanced state-of-the-art update on the current knowledge about
milk, mucosal immunity, and the microbiome as well as their impact
on breastfeeding in mammalian neonates. The first part reviews data
on the immunology of milk and lactation from a historical
perspective to the latest scientific findings. The second part
discusses the microbiology of human milk and lactation in detail,
with a focus on premature infants and necrotizing enterocolitis.
And finally, in the third part, light is shed on the protective
factors in human milk and their role in influencing the neonate's
immune system. Important new insights will provide great scientific
support for all people seeking a deeper understanding of human milk
and its immunological properties and will enlarge the knowledge of
those who have already specialized in human milk research.

This comprehensive, authoritative treatise covers all aspects of
mucosal vaccines including their development, mechanisms of action,
molecular/cellular aspects, and practical applications. The
contributing authors and editors of this one-of-a-kind book are
very well known in their respective fields. Mucosal Vaccines is
organized in a unique format in which basic, clinical, and
practical aspects of the mucosal immune system for vaccine
development are described and discussed. This project is endorsed
by the "Society for Mucosal Immunology."
