Product Description: Die Immunologie fließt in zahlreiche medizinische Fachgebiete ein. Hierzu zählen beispielsweise Transplantation, Tumorabwehr, chronische Entzündung und Autoimmunität. Als Auszug aus dem Lehrbuch "Medizinische Mikrobiologie und Infektiologie" liefert das Basiswissen Immunologie eine ideale Grundlage für ein fächerübergreifendes Verständnis...read more

Product Description: It has been said that the development of vaccines against a variety of infectious diseases is among the greatest triumphs of immunology. Indeed, several pathogens have lost their horror through the availability of effective vaccination measures...read more

Product Description: Almost 30 years ago RITOSSA described a new puffing pattern in salivary gland chromosomes of Drosophila following heat shock. This was the first description of a heat shock response. For years, development in this field remained modest and it took another decade before the relevant gene products-the heat shock proteins (hsp's)-were made visible by TISSIERES and co-workers...read more

Product Description: Providing the latest information on preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of tuberculosis and AIDS, this is the only book to place a major emphasis on the increasing coexistence of these two life-threatening diseases in individuals...read more

Product Description: The vaccines most urgently needed are those against poverty-related diseases such as tuberculosis, malaria and HIV. However, there is a considerable gap between the development of a vaccine and the implementation as a useful measure for disease control...read more

Product Description: Tuberculosis remains one of the main fatal infections in humans. With annual morbidity and mortality rates worldwide of 8 and 2 million cases respectively, the disease is far from being eradicated. In fact, the dangerous liaison between TB and HIV, and the increasing incidences of multi-drug resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis are aggravating the problem...read more

A group of pathogens has chosen the interior of host cells as preferred biotope. These microbes cause infectious diseases of global importance such as tuberculosis, leprosy, typhoid, listeriosis, Legionnaire's disease, malaria, leishmaniasis, Chagas' disease and toxoplasmosis. Frequently, the course of infection is long-lasting eventually resulting in chronic disease. During their intracellular living, these pathogens intensively interact with parasitized host cells. Moreover, because of their intracellular life style these microbes are well shielded from humoral attack, and protection crucially depends on T lymphocytes. This volume provides an updated overview of the multifacetted crosstalk of intracellular pathogens with parasitized host cells and immune system. (view table of contents)
