C-Type Lectin Receptors in Immunity (Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2016)

The book presents the latest findingson C-type lectin receptors, focusing on individual receptors and theirsignaling.

In recent years there have been great advances in the understandingof the function of these receptors as a newly emerging family of pattern-recognitionreceptors (PRRs) for pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) anddamage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs).

Comprising four parts:ITAM-coupled Activating Receptors; HemITAM-bearing Receptors; ITIM-bearingReceptors; and Other Receptors and Related Topics, this comprehensive reviewcovers a broad range of C-type lectin receptors.

The updated information onC-type lectin receptors and their ligands provided will appeal to a widereadership, from basic immunologists to physicians and surgeons.

In addition,sections on novel drug development make this a valuable resource forpharmaceutical scientists.
