Product Description: This book is centered on a comprehensive list of MHC peptide motifs and ligands as known to date, together with selected T cell epitopes, arranged in an easy-to-read fashion. This information is put into context by chapters on MHC gene organization, MHC structure, T cell epitope prediction, antigen processing and T cell responses...read more

Product Description: Zoologists have categorized primates into a single order, and no one doubts today that they share a common ancestry. Humans and Old and New World non­ human primate species, from the lemurs of Madagascar to the African anthro­ poid apes, represent diverging branches of an evolutionary common trunk...read more

Product Description: This book represents original findings and observations that were made recently on the role and function of MHC proteins in different laboratories around the globe. The articles in this book cover topics from the importance of MHC diversity to the health of the wildlife to intimate molecular mechanisms of MHC exchange between cells...read more

Product Description: This set of two Practical Approach volumes provides the ideal introduction to the biochemical and genetic techniques used to study the structure and function of major histocompatibility complex proteins.

Product Description: This book is about the basic functions of MHC molecules that provide the foundation for antigen recognition by T lymphocytes. In particular, the focus is on the cell biology and biochemistry of antigen processing mechanisms, which convert protein antigens to complexes of antigenic peptides and MHC molecules, which are required for stimulation of T lymphocytes...read more

Product Description: Resulting from a Royal Society discussion meeting, this volume presents a short review of the topic of parasite-host co-evolution. Current thinking on evolution in parasites, viruses and other pathogens is discussed. (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: This text covers various gene products of the major histocompatibility complex from transcription to disease association and therapeutic regulation of the cellular immune response. MHC molecules are very important to the immune system and to the causes of infectious disease...read more

Product Description: Minor histocompatability antigens (MHA) are a group of cell-surface membrane proteins that are able to exclusively mediate a cellular immune response. These antigens (Ag) were initially distinguished from major histocompatibility antigens (MHC) by their weak immunogenicity in allograft transplants...read more

Product Description: This book focuses on the role of the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) class 1 antigens in the function of NK cells. It has been suggested that NK cell cytolytic triggering is facilitated by lack of MHC expression in the target cells...read more

Product Description: One of the few volumes dedicated to antigen processing, this unique text is not only especially current but also valuable for its description of petentially "hot" areas with its "Future Directions" sections. * Current, important topics covered by this text include: Processing and presentation of foreign and self protein antigens to T lymphocytes Intracellular assembley and transport of MHC proteins Regulation of the assembley and expression of processed antigen-MHC complexe...read more

Product Description: With this book we· want to address young graduate students, clini­ cians involved in transplantation, and technicians in transplantation immunology laboratories. The volume should give a comprehensive but basic, up to date introduction to the structure, function, and clinical importance of the HLA system...read more
