In 23 papers from an international conference in Newport Beach, California, February 1992, immunologists and molecular biologists focus on the role interactions among the cells play in lymphocyte activation and immune regulation. The general topics are cell receptors and T-cell activation; T-cell de

Product Description: Recent advances in the understanding of the major events that shape the immune recog­ nition system have been remarkable. The analysis of immunoglobulin (Ig) gene organization and Ig repertoire diversification in lower vertebrates has provided new insight into this process in mammals...read more

Product Description: During the past 5 years rapid progress has been made in the understanding of biochemical pathways for signal transduction in lymphocyte activation. Gene cloning technology has been instrumental in defining and making available in pure form of a number of growth and differentiation factors, in the characterization of their receptors, and in the delineation of genes for the T cell receptor...read more
