The natural killer NK] cell plays a critical role in regulating
the innate and adaptive immune response to pathogens, injury and
stress. It has emerged as a cell capable of helper function,
expansion, contraction, and accelerated memory responses - features
similar to other adaptive immune cells. It is a professional
accelerator of immunity, mediating dendritic cell maturation and
its precursors critical for the origin and development of secondary
lymph node structures. These characteristics place the NK cell in a
unique position, with a major role in sculpting the host response
to damage and injury. This volume is the first complete and
authoritative reference to explore these emergent, exciting aspects
of the NK cell, placing it at the center of damage/danger
recognition and the response to stress. "Natural Killer Cells"
details NK cell biology, the role of NK cells in regulating
immunity through interactions with other cells and tissues, the
participation of NK cells in disease and special topics in NK
biology.
- Provides a broad, detailed coverage of the biology and
interactions of NK cells for students, fellows, scientists, and
practitioners - Includes figures, histologic sections, and
illustrations of the ontogeny of NK cells - Companion website
includes full-color image database
Most of the diseases of modern mankind involve either acute or
chronic inflammation. Measuring Immunity integrates the current
information available on biomarkers and surrogate assays into a
single handbook. It highlights the principles behind various
applications, gives a brief summary on how they are conducted and
provides detailed and critical analyses of murine models of
immunity, clinical trials, and tests to predict utility and
benefit. Measuring Immunity is indispensable for scientists and
clinicians interested in the clinical applications of modern
immunobiology.
* Defines which assays of immune function are helpful in the
assessment of clinical disorders involving inflammation and
immunity
* Assesses the dynamics of cellular and soluble factors in the
peripheral blood using modern techniques
* Includes basic science foundations as well as the approaches
currently applied
Dendritic Cells, 2nd Edition is the new edition of the extremely
successful book published in 1998. With the volume of literature on
dendritic cells doubling every year, it is almost impossible to
keep up. This book provides the most up-to-date synthesis of the
literature, written by the very best authors. It is essential
reading for any scientist working in immunology, cell biology,
infectious diseases, cancer, transplantation, genetic engineering,
or the pharmaceutical/biotechnology industry.
* An entirely new section on DC biology is included in this
edition. Also new to this edition are chapters on:
* Imaging
* Interaction of dendritic cells with viruses
* Dendritic cells and dendrikines, chemokines and the
endothelium
* Molecules expressed in dendritic cells
* Role of dendritic cells in wound healing and
atherosclerosis
* Delivery of apoptotic bodies
* Genetic engineering of dendritic cells
* Imaging
* Practical aspects of clinical protocol development
