Author Description
In this volume, leading experts offer key findings on how the immune system reacts to a wide variety of pathogens. An excellent text for graduate courses and for educators, the book includes a useful update on the functioning of the immune system and complete coverage of such diseases as influenza, polio, hepatitis B, and deymelinating encepphalitis. The book also includes an informative discussion of autoimmune responses in the brain.
Menrva's Summary
THE THESIS
This volume investigates the complex mechanisms by which the human immune system identifies, responds to, and interacts with various viral pathogens. Edited by N. J. Dimmock and P. D. Minor, the text compiles research from leading experts to provide a comprehensive overview of immunological responses. It serves as a technical resource for graduate-level study, synthesizing current findings on both systemic immune function and specific disease pathology.
THE SCOPE MAP
What You Will Find
- Detailed analysis of immune system interactions with influenza, polio, and hepatitis B.
- Examination of autoimmune responses specifically localized within the brain.
- Review of mechanisms underlying demyelinating encephalitis.
- Updated frameworks for understanding viral pathogenesis and host defense strategies.
THE AUTHORITY PERSPECTIVE
Experts identify this publication as a foundational reference for graduate students and researchers specializing in virology and immunology. Readers frequently note the technical density of the prose, which is tailored for those with a pre-existing background in biological sciences.
