Molecular Aspects of Innate and Adaptive Immunity

The focus of this book concerns innate and adaptive immunity with special emphasis on the protein chemistry of the system. The chapters are written by internationally recognised renowned experts, past and present members of the MRC Immunochemistry Unit, who illustrate their respective specialities with current up-to-date findings. The book brings together central themes covering proteins of the immune system with special emphasis dedicated to the protein of the chemistry of the system. The aim of the volume is to provide a unique insight and up to date understanding at the molecular level, of the interactions between innate and adaptive arms of the immune system. Addressing a wide range of immunity system topics, the volume will appeal to academics, students and established scientists and professionals.
