Advances in Immunology - v.60

This volume highlights the latest reviews of mechanisms and actions of the immune system and the host response to infection and inflammation.

It: covers cytokine functioning as influenced by the Janus protein tyrosine kinase family; explores immunodeficiencies, including: Immunoglobulin deficiencies and B cells development, Glycosyl Phosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchor and Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH); investigates the links molecular pathology established between deficiencies in GPI-anchor synthesis and PNH; includes the use of Multiple Antigen Peptides (MAPs) to induce protective immune response; offers a timely update on Eosinophils' role in disease; covers histology of Germinal center reaction of a spleen twelve days after primary immunization; includes new research on cytotoxic T-lymphocytes; and, presents the multiple roles of Nitric oxide (NO) in the inflammatory response.
